The new software aligns with draft standards requiring home care providers to implement effective medication management systems, which is crucial given the increasing demand for home care services. BESTMED for Home Care improves transparency and ease for providers and staff, integrating with platforms like AlayaCare, CareLynx, and CareVision to reduce data re-entry and streamline operations.
