Axxess Earns CHAP Age-Friendly Care at Home Verification

Axxess, a pioneer in the technology space for home healthcare, has made a significant leap by achieving the prestigious Age-Friendly Care at Home Verification from the Community Health Accreditation Partner (CHAP). This achievement is not just a badge of honor; it underscores Axxess' dedication to transforming the delivery of care within the home environment, especially for older adults.

Commitment to Excellence

The verification received from CHAP is a validation of Axxess' innovative spirit and firm commitment to providing software solutions that facilitate high-quality, person-centered care. Axxess was the first organization to achieve CHAP Verified status when the verification system was introduced in 2022, setting the standard for excellence in home health, home care, hospice, and palliative care.

Andrew Olowu, Chief Technology Officer at Axxess, expressed the team's enthusiasm regarding the achievement: "This verification reflects our commitment to helping providers deliver exceptional care at home. By advancing value-based care, HOPE-compliant documentation, and implementing AI-driven features, we're empowering organizations to enhance outcomes for their patients and meet the evolving needs of the communities they serve."

What is Age-Friendly Care at Home?

CHAP’s Age-Friendly Care at Home Certification is built upon a comprehensive, yet flexible framework aimed at helping care providers improve quality, ensure compliance, and prioritize the preferences of both patients and caregivers. The standards are rooted in essential elements identified by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) as core to effective care for older adults. Known as the ‘4Ms’, these elements focus on:

• - What matters: Understanding the needs and values of the patient.
• - Medication: Ensuring effective management of medications.
• - Mentation: Monitoring cognitive functions and mental health.
• - Mobility: Encouraging the physical movement of patients to enhance their health.

Impact of Axxess' Innovation

Teresa Harbour, Chief Operating Officer of CHAP, commented on Axxess' significant role within the Age-Friendly Care at Home movement, stating, “Axxess has been a vital contributor since its early days, championing innovation that truly meets people where they are.” This latest verification reflects not only Axxess' technological advancements but also its proactive engagement in elevating care standards through partnership and innovation.

Axxess’ solutions for home health, hospice, home care, and palliative care are now backed by both the CHAP Verified status and Age-Friendly Care at Home Verification, confirming their place at the forefront of the home healthcare technology industry.
