In a bid to modernize and improve services, home care providers are increasingly considering collaboration with their competitors and adopting data-driven approaches. The potential benefits of collaborating with neighboring competitors include sharing knowledge, caregivers, and referral sources. This collaborative approach not only addresses caregiver shortages but also ensures timely and efficient care delivery, ultimately benefiting clients. Furthermore, industry leaders are recognizing the significance of data tracking and sharing. Collaboration in data sharing between agencies, payers, health systems, and other providers can enhance patient satisfaction and promote a seamless continuum of care.
