From implementation and beyond: Customer support in home health and hospice

In the dynamic world of healthcare, efficient and reliable customer support is crucial for the seamless operation of clinical and billing processes. At MatrixCare, we recognize that over 50% of our support calls are training-related, which has driven our investment in additional education materials and faster ways to get answers to your questions.

We understand the importance of empowering our customers to navigate their electronic health records (EHR) system with confidence and expertise. That’s why MatrixCare customers start receiving support the day they sign. We provide a personalized experience, starting with a dedicated implementation team like no other.

EHR implementation is a group effort

Your dedicated implementation team — comprised of experienced agency clinicians, certified CHAP consultants and financial consultants with years of industry specific expertise in billing and revenue cycle management — customizes an onboarding plan to meet specific and unique customer needs.

Post go-live, a Customer Success Manager is dedicated to each customer post implementation with regular calls to discuss ongoing success and address any challenges, as well as to perform periodic system health checks to ensure optimized operations.

We’ve introduced a range of initiatives designed to enhance knowledge and streamline support, helping to ensure that your agency can focus on improved care, better outcomes, and higher profits at go-live and beyond.

“From that first day, I realized this was the perfect partnership for us.”

–Deborah Wesley, RN, BN, MSN, MHA, CEO, and Vice President of Clinical Services, Addison County Home Health & Hospice

MatrixCare EHR certified partners: Your first line of defense

One of the most impactful initiatives we’ve launched is the MatrixCare EHR Certification program. This free, self-service training offers in-depth knowledge for your employees, allowing them to become certified experts in their EHR system. By investing in the training and certification of your staff, you not only enhance their expertise but also improve the overall efficiency of your agency’s operations.

Certified users are better equipped to utilize the product effectively, quickly resolving issues and troubleshooting problems as they arise. This minimizes downtime and disruptions, helping to ensure that your agency can maintain a high level of productivity and service quality.

The certification covers both clinical and billing modules, providing a comprehensive understanding that empowers your staff to handle a wide range of scenarios independently.

Dedicated survey assistance

In the healthcare industry, regulatory compliance and inspections are a constant reality. MatrixCare offers dedicated survey assistance to support your agency when surveyors walk through the door.

Our certified partners are trained to provide immediate, knowledgeable support, helping to ensure that your agency can navigate surveys smoothly and efficiently. This proactive support helps mitigate any potential issues, demonstrating your commitment to quality and compliance.

“MatrixCare’s customer service works to our schedule and needs, not the other way around.”

–Sarah Thompson, RN, CHPN, CHPCA, Vice President of Hospice Services, Affinis Hospice
