SOAP Note Buddy and HCHB
Homecare Homebase (HCHB) is one of the largest home health and hospice EHRs. Field clinicians document visits in PointCare, its tablet app.
SOAP Note Buddy writes the visit note from your recording or shorthand, with skilled language that shows medical necessity and homebound status. You paste it into PointCare section by section.
Auto Fill cannot reach the PointCare tablet app. Every plan still writes the whole note for you to paste in, or email to yourself if your agency tablet blocks new apps.
Home health documentation in HCHB
HCHB clinicians face the same load as every home health clinician:
- Charting after a day of driving: Visits end in the afternoon, and documentation runs into the evening at the kitchen table.
- Skilled need, every visit: Each note has to show why skilled services are needed, plus homebound status and progress toward goals.
- OASIS visits: Start of care, recertification and discharge visits add long assessments on top of the narrative.
- Audits and denials: Thin or copied notes put payment at risk, so every note has to stand on its own.
