■ Not just visits. "Visiting" care managers and related parties too.
The home care nursing field is constantly busy with not only care but also records, documents, and collaboration tasks.
Even amidst such daily demands, Ms. Hotta adheres to the principle of "directly visiting" people, building trust step by step with users, care managers, and local stakeholders.
In this video, we asked Ms. Hotta about her approach to building relationships with users and multidisciplinary professionals, the operational design to protect "nursing time," and the secrets behind the continuous business growth since the station's establishment.
■ Preventing "missed add-on claims" and improving efficiency: iBow was chosen after comparison.
Familia Home Care Nursing Station compared explanations from more than a dozen system companies and chose iBow for operational efficiency and improving reimbursement quality.
In the video, she mentions that when time is entered, add-on claims for night/early morning hours are automatically reflected, stating, "With other company systems, I had to check myself, which led to missed add-on claims. iBow naturally checks them, so we haven't missed any."
Ms. Hotta also says, "My main job is nursing. I want to devote my efforts to nursing care." She utilizes the "iBow Administrative Outsourcing Service," which has freed her from spending a lot of time researching reimbursement claims, allowing her to reallocate time to visits and outreach.
"Visiting people personally" and "spending time on nursing as a nurse."
Please watch the video to hear the sincere efforts that have earned the trust of those around her, and the positive energy for users.
