Staying Connected with Caregivers
Easy access to caregiver communication preferences, helps hospices keep patients and families informed in this time when connection is critical.
Diagnosing Patients Accurately
Hummingbird has the symptom diagnosis codes for COVID-19 built-in, so clinicians can include them in their normal visits to a patient.
Telehealth Fee-For-Service (FFS)
In the midst of the outbreak, hospices are turning to telehealth to treat patients and families. Documenting the Medicare FFS Telemedicine Physician Service Codes is crucial as telehealth becomes more common. Hummingbird includes all of the Medicare FFS Telemedicine service codes. And, Hummingbird makes it easy to update a patient’s plan of care to reflect the need for telehealth visits.
