Whether you’re at the helm of a home health business or building a house, if you make key decisions based on a “best guess,” you are doomed to miss the mark. Measurement enables precision in execution. Without it, you are lost in the dark, at the mercy of chance. That’s not where you want your home health business to be.
Just as no tool-belt is complete without a measuring stick, your organization cannot be truly successful without implementing its own metrics for measurement as well, but what should those metrics look like?
3 Essential Elements of Successful Measurement
There are three characteristics you should demand of your measurement model for it to truly benefit your home health business.
Your measuring stick must be:
- Accurate
- Automated
- Thorough
In this day and age, manual methods of measurement must go. There is too much room for human error. Automation is also an invaluable timesaver. To effectively track and improve the satisfaction rates of your patients, you need the measurement features included with AHT’s Total Triage, powered by Total Triage.
