Agency Owner Moves $10,000 to Bottom Line with AxisCare Forms
Jacob Buffington is the Owner/Director of Visiting Angels in Athens, Georgia, a home care agency providing non-medical care to seniors. Prior to using AxisCare’s Custom Forms Builder, Jacob and his team used paper for all forms, from client enrollment forms to legal forms. Realizing that this process was cumbersome and time-consuming, they needed a better way to reduce time wasted on and off the field. They began using the form builder and transformed their operations.
The Challenge
Jacob and his care team were spending hours on the field filling out paper forms for their clients. The process was cumbersome and time-consuming, taking an average of 4 hours and 15 minutes per client, resulting in frustration for both his team and their clients. Accuracy and security of information was also in jeopardy as forms could easily be misread or misplaced.
“Paper forms were slowing us down – we knew we needed a way to streamline our operations.”
