PASADENA, California—IO Health, a health technology company serving home health and hospice agencies, announced the commercial availability of ioDoc, a digital patient documentation solution that eliminates manual handbook creation at the start of care (SOC). Additionally, the company released operational outcome data from GrandCare Health, a multi-location home health agency that completed full implementation across 120 clinicians, confirming measurable reductions in visit time, administrative labor and per-episode cost.
SOC visits are among the most documentation-intensive moments in home health. In most agencies, patient handbooks are still printed, manually assembled and carried into the home by clinicians, then mailed or re-delivered when information changes. The process is fragmented, difficult to audit and expensive to sustain.
ioDoc replaces this workflow entirely. By generating patient-specific documentation directly from the agency's existing electronic medical record (EMR) and delivering it electronically, ioDoc removes manual preparation before the visit, eliminates printed materials and creates a complete, timestamped delivery audit trail for compliance.
"I founded IO Health while I was still CEO of GrandCare Health, because I was living this problem every day," said David Bell, founder and CEO of IO Health. "I watched skilled clinicians spend their mornings printing handbooks, carrying binders into patients' homes and then scrambling to re-deliver updated paperwork days later. It was a workflow built for a different era, and it was quietly draining time and money from every single visit. I built ioDoc because I knew it didn't have to be that way, not for GrandCare, and not for any agency or clinician still dealing with the same thing."
ioDoc is available now for home health agencies. It is compatible with any EMR. Agencies interested in a workflow review can visit iohealth.ai
