12 things to consider when choosing home care software

Choosing the combination of software and other technologies your home care business needs to run efficiently is a hugely important decision. You’ve probably already decided on Microsoft vs Google for digital tools like word processing and spreadsheets but what about your home care management software?

There is a lot to consider before deciding what to invest in and making the wrong decision could be a costly mistake to undo going forwards.

How do you go about making an informed and educated decision on what software to buy when there are so many software providers in the market?

You’ll find there are perhaps as many as 40 software providers offering home care management software in the UK. Some are low cost, low frills systems that tend to focus on one or two key features – with these you’ll likely need to combine multiple software applications to deliver all you need often increasing overall cost. Whilst others appear to promise an all-in-one, all singing, all dancing solution (not that any of them actually sing or dance….).

If you have recently had a “requires improvement” CQC inspection you’ll know that a specialist homecare all-in-one digital solution will help you meet those improvement requirements.

Whether you’re looking to invest in a new software system or you’re looking to replace a current solution, CareLineLive have come up with a list of 12 things to consider before buying. Use these tips to help guide the buying process so your team feels confident when making the final decision. These tips give you 12 key questions to consider before you sign that contract.
