Abstract
A home health point-of-care and administration system and method that has at least one communication device that is adapted to establish bi-directional communication with a server system is provided. One or more input components of the communication device allow for input of information from a user (such as a visiting home healthcare staff member) and the communication device is adapted for receipt of instructional and other information from the server system. The information includes details related to off-site visits such as tasks performed by the visiting staff member using the communication device. Start and finish times of the visit may also be recorded. A global positioning system (GPS) application operating in conjunction with the communication device and server system may be employed to monitor the actions of the visiting staff member. Such information may be provided in individual visit records and may be used for administrative purposes.
