Schedule Group Visits with Home Health
As a scheduler, you can simplify the scheduling process and provide better tracking by creating a group visit for multiple patients in nearby locations and with similar health conditions. Home Health bundles patient visits into a single group visit and assigns a single care resource to the group visit.

Group visits are more appropriate for common care facilities such as an elderly care home. A single care resource caters and provides a common service such as preventive care, physiotherapy, or a holistic checkup to all the patients in the group. Group visits help to improve patient experience and reduce costs for several health conditions. Care resources also save travel time and have the flexibility to handle the visits in any sequence.

Search.

Select the date and time of the group visit.
- If you know when to schedule the visit, select Specific Time from the Scheduling Preference field and use the Start Time and End Time fields.
- If you only know the time slots when the patient group is open to visits, select Available Hours from the Scheduling Preference field.
-
If you’re scheduling recurring visits, enter the number of recurring visits required in the
Visits Required field and specify how often the visits should recur.

Home Health creates the individual patient visits, bundles them into a group visit, and schedules the group visit. Care resource assignment happens in the background and Home Health notifies you when this is done.
