CellTrak fundamentally transforms how your field staff delivers care, improving compliance and creating added time for more visits. CellTrak identifies variance to care allowing for early intervention to decrease acute care visits and exposure to preventable readmissions. Receiving actionable data from the home is key to reducing emergency room visits and avoidable hospital readmissions for an especially high-risk population of seniors and individuals with acute and chronic illness. With CellTrak, your staff will gain instant access to client specific care plans, allowing them to document and verify electronically at the point of care. Care teams can utilize automated reports, alerts and patient communications to minimize manual tasks, reach more clients successfully and devote more clinical and coaching talent to clients who need them most. CellTrak streamlines care plan delivery and verification, all while improving your agency’s compliance and census. CellTrak uses GPS to track the user locations during usage of 'visits' feature. -- DISCLAIMER -- "Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."
