AUSTIN, Texas (Jan. 27, 2015)—Kinnser Software has released Kinnser Link, a new tool for the home health field clinician.
The mobile application,available in both iTunes and Google Play stores,allows clinicians to complete clinical documentation within the electronic medical record, even at times when there is no Web access or cellular service. By eliminating one of the most common reasons that documentation is not completed while with the patient, at point of care, agencies can increase the accuracy of their clinical data and improve care.
According to a recent survey, three-fourths of home health industry thought-leaders agreed that mobile devices like smartphones and tablets are the best tools for improving business and delivering superior overall care. Additionally, clinicians report that mobile devices account for more than of 40 percent of their digital time at work. Kinnser Link meets the demand for integrated mobile care technologies and extends reliable access to the skilled clinicians who care for patients in a variety of locations, including rural areas or areas with unstable Internet connections. Data within Kinnser Link is fully encrypted, so protected health information is never at risk, even if the device is lost or stolen.
“The home health industry is rapidly changing, and a new wave of mobile technology is ushering in an improved era of patient care by helping clinicians work faster and smarter,” said Chris Hester, president and founder of Kinnser Software. “Kinnser Link is a critical tool for the on-the-go home health workforce. Now, online or offline, every clinician can have access to crucial data at the touch of a finger, all while ensuring the utmost regulatory compliance and data security.”
Using any Internet-enabled tablet, clinicians load the documents they are scheduled to use that day into the HIPAA-compliant Kinnser Link app. These documents can then be accessed with no Internet connection required. Later, when Web access is regained, the previously saved documents can be selected and sent at the touch of a button to the agency’s online electronic medical record—Kinnser Agency Manager.
