Increasing demands on home health care providers
Home care requires a well-trained workforce that can provide services in a variety of settings and diverse locations throughout a single workday. However, maintaining clinical consistency and the necessary regulatory training in a decentralized environment can be challenging.
Driven by the patient's desire to remain in familiar surroundings, there are now more than two million home care workers providing personal assistance and healthcare support to older adults and people with disabilities in the United States.
Demand will only increase over the next three decades when the 65+ population will grow from 47.8 million to nearly 88 million. HealthStream understands the challenge of developing the home health workforce without a centralized location—we also understand the immense responsibility in providing high-quality care on a mobile basis.
That’s why our solutions offer mobile access to clinical training and other regulatory and professional development education, meeting home health workers exactly where they are while also mitigating risk and increasing efficiency across home health organizations.
