Optimize Your Treatment Plan while Improving Your Bottom Line!
In Home Health Care, you win (or lose) money one episode at a time. The best treatment plans balance the Patient’s needs, treatment options, and required resources. Because each episode is unique, there is no “one size fits all” solution.

The Need for Balance
Your clinical staff needs to provide each patient the care he or she deserves. At the same time, they need to ensure the financial health of the agency so you can continue providing the requisite level of care for future patients. It’s a challenging balancing act.
Give Your Staff the Tool They Need
Our Resource Planner helps your clinical staff optimize the treatment plan for the patient’s needs while being aware of the financial consequences their decisions have for your agency.
What Our Customers Are Saying
Don’t just take it from us, let our customers do the talking!
The Resource Planner has helped clinicians and supervisors alike to better understand the Prospective Payment system, and to respond proactively with delivery of care. At Indiana University Health Homecare, the needs of the patient will always come first and the Resource Planner has been a tremendous asset in allowing us to meet these needs in the most efficient, effective way.
The Resource Planner enables us to “visualize” the plan of care, and how that plan aligns with our commitment to care as well as our financial goals.
In a world with ever changing Medicare regulations and cuts, we at Indiana University Health Home Care are lucky to have the Home Health Care Resource Planner to help us maintain a strong and healthy bottom line. Thank you again for supplying such a beneficial and useful tool!
I told John Reisinger, CPA, that with his “Resource Planner” he had developed a “Home Health Survival Tool” creating a process for making informed decisions by the agency.
We know we might lose money on any given patient, but we need to make that a strategic decision, not a surprise ending.
Surviving the cuts and onerous regulation over the next several years will allow us the opportunity to thrive in the new value-based reimbursement era.

Description
The HHA Resource Planner is a web-app that encourages your clinicians and therapists (aka Case Managers) to envision the best and most efficient approach for providing the appropriate level of care for each and every patient while considering the financial ramifications of those options.
It allows for an unlimited number of “what ifs” to identify the financial impact for potential treatment options. This approach teaches and reinforces the financial discipline for your case managers and field staff without restricting their care plans.
There will still be episodes that are under-resourced, and as such, will generate losses. However, consistent use of the Resource Planner will increase your staff’s understanding of the financial ramifications for the projected resource usage. That will increase the likelihood of maximizing profits to the extent reasonably possible.
The app does not make them financial managers of care (i.e., the old HMO approach), but gives case managers a better understanding of the financial impact of their decisions. Quality care is still the primary driver, but an understanding of the financial impact of their decisions takes case managers to a whole new level of care and resource oversight.
