Home Health Software

Our entire platform is optimized for tablets and smartphones. All information is safely stored in the cloud. So your caregivers can access Alora home health software anywhere, anytime.

Alora’s home health EMR system provides documents and tools for the clinicians, facilitating ease of use, completeness, and Medicare compliance.

That includes assessment, evaluation, plan of care, and visit notes for the six disciplines covered by Medicare (skilled nursing, home health aide, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and medical social worker) and more.

Alora offers comprehensive OASIS assessments to help agencies thoroughly assess their patients while staying compliant with Medicare guidelines.

Assessment includes Medicare M00 questions, comprehensive assessment questions as well as many tools including Braden Scale, Fall Risk Assessment, Nutritional Assessment, Pain Assessment, and much more.

Non-OASIS assessment is available for agencies that prefer to use a shorter assessment for patients who do not require a Medicare-mandated OASIS assessment.

In addition, Alora provides a non-skilled assessment that may be used for non-skilled only patients.

Alora offers the traditional CMS-485 as well as an enhanced “living” plan of care helping agencies to stay compliant with the Medicare Conditions of Participation (CoP) requirements. Generate Plan of Care automatically from the assessment or create independently.

Alora’s POC is a dynamic document that can track the progress made and goals met during the course of the certification period. At any time, agencies can view or print the plan of care as signed by the physician as well as the POC in its most current status, incorporating all the additional orders that came in since the cert period started.

With Alora’s built-in faxing capability, Plan of Care and Verbal Orders can be faxed directly from the Alora system to the physician with just a click.

Alora also generates Patient Readable Plan of Care.

Did your caregivers actually do what was required in the patient’s plan of care? You won’t have to wonder – Alora home health software generates patient-specific visit notes that are derived from the POC.

Learn more about visit notes based on plan of care.

Do your staff complete any custom paper documents that were created by your agency?

Alora’s Custom Documents option lets you upload your master documents into the Alora system and have your caregivers complete and sign those documents electronically.

You no longer need to rely on paper documents.

Your clinicians enter and maintain information on patient medications – and the software automatically checks for drug-to-drug interactions and drug-allergy reactions (powered by Medi-Span). Alora also generates logs on medication administration and materials to educate patients.

Do you administer medications for your patients?  If so, you will love Alora’s Medication Administration functionality.

You can specify the scheduled times for each medication.  Based on the scheduled times, Alora provides quick and easy identification of approaching (or delayed) drug administration.

Documenting medication administration is a breeze with a click of a button and features such as multiple medication administration reduces time spent on charting so that more time can be spent on care.

Alora Software for Home Health provides the Medication Administration Record (MAR).

“No Internet” is no problem — clinicians complete documentation offline when the Internet is not available, then transmit their documentation with a single click when they have access to the Internet later.  Alora provides native offline applications for iPhone, iPad as well as Android phones and tablets.

Your clinicians’ assessment of patients is improved by a powerful analyzing tool that spots inconsistencies and other problems in OASIS forms. The result: Maximized reimbursement and better patient care.

You can create and maintain an Emergency Preparedness Plan for each of your patients in Alora’s EHR for home health.

Alora provides COVID-19 screening for patients and staff. Special alerts in the system can remind employees when the screening was not completed for themselves or for the patients.

Electronic Visit Verification:

EVV is becoming a requirement in many states – and Alora has it fully integrated into its system. Alora EVV simplifies the workflow for the caregivers as well as the agency administrators.

Alora’s electronic visit verification solution empowers caregivers with a software tool to check their schedules, capture signatures, and complete plan of care based visit notes.

In addition to facilitating compliance and caregiver accountability, Alora EVV brings efficiency for the agency because the EVV information captured flows to billing and payroll, eliminating manual entries.

Alora EVV comes with “live monitoring” capability – a powerful tool that provides you by-the-minute visibility on home visits that are in progress as well as delays and no-shows. You will know when a caregiver does not show up and you can proactively take the necessary steps to deal with the situation before it is too late.
