Anderson & Tuttle are taking on a huge challenge in the home health and hospice industry: selecting software. Watch for our new blog on this site dedicated soley to technology. We will be posting software reviews, describing what to look for and ask about during a sales demo.
For instance, everybody wants web-based, right? What does that mean? Is there ANY home health software that isn’t web-based on the market today? In layman’s terms, for our purposes it means it can be accessed via an Internet connection. It seems that the difference you look for in this category is where is the server? and who is responsible for purchasing it? maintaining it? backing it up in the event of theft or disaster?
So, when you are asking about web hosting versus web based, consider what you are asking for and use the terms you are familiar with: Can my clinicians access the application even when there is no internet access? Do I need to select and purchase a server?
These are the little things that we are talking to the software community about. We’ve talked to folks and picked their brains and watched their demos and hope to develop a tool with which to compare the functions and features and make educated decisions about selection.
