EVV

As the name suggests, EVV electronically captures:

  • That a home care agency employee provided the agreed-upon point-of-care service
  • The time and date that a visit began and ended
  • The individual who received the service
  • The tasks that were completed during the visit

All individuals and companies that provide in home care must use a system that is EVV compliant.

Most EVV systems have both a mobile device application that the user can download or utilizing telephone lines, requiring the caregiver to call the agency office via a landline.

Section 12006 of the 21st Century Cures Act requires all states to implement the use of EVV for Medicaid-funded personal care and home health care services.

We are implementing a system called Santrax to make compliance with this regulation as easy as possible for you. Santrax has both a mobile device app call “Sandata Mobile Connect” (SMC) and a Call in number for those employees without a mobile device.

Help at Home uses an app called “Sandata Mobile Connect” (SMC) and is available in the Google and Apple App stores.
