With millions of aging baby boomers striving to stay in their homes for as long as possible, home-based care has become a big business. Meeting the swelling demand requires a large workforce, a focus on efficiency and a willingness to adapt.
For many home healthcare providers, that means modernizing applications to simplify processes, reduce technical debt and enable new capabilities.
At Amedisys, headquartered in Baton Rouge, La., modernizing the IT department’s remote device management capabilities with Intel’s vPro® platform has been a “big, big win,” says Vice President of Enterprise Solutions Michael Phillips.
As one of the nation’s largest home healthcare providers, Amedisys cares for more than 465,000 patients each year in 37 states and Washington, D.C. The organization has about 22,000 employees and contractors. More than 8,000 of them use laptops enabled with Intel vPro®, including 1,200 remote corporate employees and 7,000 staffers who handle back-office operations at about 520 regional care centers.
