Though it has been overstated, 2020 was no ordinary year. In January alone, Australia lost 47 million acres of land in wildfires, Kobe Bryant tragically died in a plane crash and the 45th president of the United States faced an impeachment trial. That was all before the coronavirus pandemic swept the world.
Put simply, the novel coronavirus pandemic has changed the home care industry and the world forever. Though several highly effective vaccines are in the works, it is difficult to imagine things being the same as they were before. In some ways this is positive: People are more health conscious, corporations have taken additional measures to make sure their facilities are sanitized, and many restaurants have become takeout and delivery only. But one thing that stands out is that the home care industry is more important than ever. Older and immunocompromised individuals are safest and often most comfortable at home.
To make patients comfortable and ensure that they receive the best care outcomes, caregivers provide care in the home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week 365 days a year. Working tirelessly, caregivers often perform thankless tasks to ensure that their patients remain safe and as healthy as possible during a global pandemic. While at home, patients can continue to see their families and experience comforts they may not have received in a nursing facility or hospital.
CellTrak was founded with caregivers and home care agencies at the center. From the beginning, we sought to create ways for home care aides and agencies to spend less time filling out documentation and spend more time doing what they do best: Providing exceptional care. While the coronavirus pandemic may have moved employees from the office to their homes, we continue to adhere to one of our most valuable core virtues — Empowering Care 365.
Though we stand in the darkest days of COVID-19, we press on with the hope of multiple highly effective vaccines. We hope that this vaccine will provide solace and relief for millions of health care workers in the home care industry and beyond who have continually put their patients’ health before their own.
During a time where things feel out of control, CellTrak strives to make you and your business feel in control. As a point-of-care field force management solution, CellTrak keeps you connected with your staff while out in the field, keeping them safe, compliant, and empowering them to care for others.
