From paperwork to organized caregiver onboarding
Based on feedback from Harmony Home Care Corp about its experience using HiCareGiver.
Before HiCareGiver
Office visits, paper forms and individual file reviews.
With HiCareGiver
Forms and uploads from home, with document status organized for the office.
The challenge: a process centered on paper
Before using HiCareGiver, caregivers came to the office to complete onboarding paperwork. Staff explained each document and showed them where to sign. Checking expiration dates also meant reviewing individual files.
The change: onboarding from home
The agency can now send caregivers a link to create their accounts, complete forms and upload documents from home. Office staff can review the information through the system instead of handling every step in person.
A clearer view of documents that need attention
The team uses HiCareGiver to see pending requirements, expired documents and upcoming expiration dates. According to the feedback, this makes follow-up easier than checking each paper file separately.
Keeping track of the next supervision visit
The agency also described using tasks to help track upcoming patient supervision visits, giving the team another way to organize follow-up.
The transition takes an initial effort
The agency acknowledged that entering existing caregiver and patient records requires work at the beginning. Once the information was organized in the system, the team found its ongoing work easier and more convenient to manage.
Vital Care Rehab
A clear first step for onboarding rehabilitation professionals
Based on Vital Care Rehab’s reported experience onboarding therapists for in-home visits.
Before HiCareGiver
Email requests and follow-up messages to explain which documents were missing or expired.
With HiCareGiver
A specific invitation to start onboarding and a reference point for follow-up.
The previous process: requesting and reviewing documents by email
The agency emailed each therapist to request their license, professional liability insurance, CPR certificate and other documents. Staff then reviewed the submissions and wrote again when something was missing or expired.
The main challenge: explaining exactly what was missing
Follow-up took the most time. A therapist might send several certificates but still be missing the auto insurance page showing their name. Staff had to identify the outstanding requirement and explain it so the therapist could complete their file.
The most-used feature: the onboarding invitation
Vital Care Rehab uses the invitation when a therapist decides to work with the agency and is ready to begin. It gives the professional a clear first step after the initial conversation.
A specific example with an occupational therapy professional
After speaking with an occupational therapy professional interested in providing visits, the agency sent her an invitation. During follow-up, staff could focus on confirming whether she had been able to sign in and offering help with the documentation.
Follow-up with specific questions
The team can ask directly whether the therapist received the invitation, could open it and needs help at a particular step. For the agency, the clearest benefit is continuity between the first conversation and the point when the professional begins preparing their file.
What they recommend to other agencies
Vital Care Rehab recommends that agencies onboarding professionals frequently try HiCareGiver with their next new professional and assess how it fits their own process.
