Elevating patient care: Leverage Forcura and MatrixCare for effective care coordination

With an aging population and the rise of chronic diseases, home health and hospice providers are facing significant challenges — and their need for care coordination has never been greater. The integration of telemedicine and the mobility of patients add complexity to this already fragmented system, but the good news is innovative tools are helping providers navigate these changing times.

Healthcare organizations are increasingly turning to integrated solutions like Forcura and MatrixCare, which streamline care coordination and enhance patient outcomes.

In this blog, learn about Forcura, MatrixCare’s newest integration that enables staff to make more informed decisions and helps to ensure the highest quality care for patients.

The crucial role of coordination in managed care

Effective care coordination is crucial for delivering high-quality, patient-centered healthcare. By optimizing workforce efforts and facilitating timely interventions, effective care coordination helps to ensure that patients receive the right care at the right time, leading to improved outcomes and reduced costs.

Furthermore, it increases job satisfaction among home health and hospice providers and improves patient satisfaction by providing a seamless care experience.

The growing demand for seamless care coordination

The demand for seamless care coordination is growing amid limited resources, higher patient expectations, and quality requirements for value-based care arrangements. Addressing the root causes of poor care coordination is essential for enhancing patient experiences, improving outcomes and quality of life, and heling to maximize reimbursements.

Solutions that streamline care coordination are no longer optional — they are essential for thriving in this demanding environment.

The urgency of effective care coordination

  • Life expectancy on the rise: Life expectancy in the U.S. has reached 76.1 years, a significant increase from 1955. This emphasizes the growing need for effective care coordination in managing chronic diseases and aging populations.
  • The shift to home-based care: There is a growing demand for receiving care in the comfort of your own home. One survey found that 88% of people aged 50 to 80 prioritize aging in place, highlighting the importance of home-based care coordination.

These statistics illustrate the critical need for home health and hospice organizations to adopt comprehensive care coordination solutions that can meet the evolving demands of patient care.
