In the home health and hospice industry, our services are incomplete without a compassionate human touch. But the human touch can also lead to human error through 1) inefficient protocols, 2) nurse fatigue and turnover, and 3) inaccessible over-the-phone support. These three major headaches are best addressed with one easy-to-use piece of technology: CareXM, a revolutionary mobile application designed to maximize the human connection within patient care while minimizing our most fallible
tendencies.
So what does it do?

morning knowing our team was ready to roll with whatever came our way that day. It was reassuring to know that I had
real time information on patient calls, their locations and the Compassus Colleagues available to make visits during that
entire time period.
Cost Management
Increased efficiency means increased savings! CareXM empowers you to:
- Reduce the need for additional staff by maximizing those you have
- Cut down on patient readmissions and 911 calls by providing access to registered nurses
- Eliminate redundancies of traditional after-hours answering services with seamless routing, recording, and reporting
- Identify target areas for improvement by tracking primary call reasons and call volume
- Track available nurses’ proximities with each other and patients
- Reduce the high costs of staff turnover
Compassion Fatigue
Compassion fatigue, burnout, and overall poor job satisfaction are three contributors to costly staff turnover. CareXM addresses all three by:
- Alleviating and mitigating demand on on-call nurses
- Vetting calls prior to transferring to on-call nurses
- Resolving non-emergent calls over the phone
- Allowing optimal allocation of staff without overtaxing individual nurses
Quality Control
The surest way to jeopardize the safety and satisfaction of your home health patients is to route them to nonclinical support in a moment of need. CareXM lets your patients and caregivers:
- Bypass non-clinical answering services and voicemail
- Talk to qualified, carefully screened RNs around-the-clock
- Receive immediate clinical support within seconds of their call
