If you’re in the business of providing care to others, you get up each day to help make someone else’s day better. Many home health workers, however, find themselves spending more time scheduling appointments and focusing on record keeping than improving the lives of the patients they work so hard to serve. That’s why we created Workpath, technology that helps healthcare professionals dispatch, manage, and track their mobile workforce – all on one platform. Our job is to help home health agencies and other care providers say goodbye to spreadsheets and the back-and-forth they’re used to when it comes to scheduling. We make it possible for teams to deliver the right care, at the right time, and in the right place. We want care providers to keep doing what they do. We’re there to help them do it better. Contact us to use Workpath at your care organization today. #homehealthcare #homehealth #healthtech #caregiving #workpath
