ClearCare Schedule Genie™ For Home Care Agencies Increases Efficiency And Reduces Unemployment Claim Liability

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearCare, the leading software platform for home care agencies, today announced the release of ClearCare Schedule Genie.  Schedule Genie empowers home care agencies with unique and powerful features that dramatically improve scheduling efficiency, decrease scheduling time by as much as 75%, reduce agency liability when faced with unemployment claims and court requests, and help increase quality of care.

ClearCare Schedule Genie's robust functionality includes:

• Care Matching, which automatically recommends caregivers based on each client's needs and caregiver availability.
• Overtime Check, which tracks caregivers' hours and alerts agencies if caregivers will be put into overtime –– eliminating costly overtime mistakes.
• Text-to-Shift, which enables agencies to quickly offer shifts via bulk text message –– without having to pick up the phone.
• True 2-Way Messaging, which simplifies receiving caregiver messages by sending replies directly to an agency's inbox –– whether it's Outlook, Gmail, or another provider.  Delivery confirmations hold caregivers accountable for receiving an agency's messages.
• Conversation Threading, which organizes all outbound and inbound emails and texts in one central location –– reducing unemployment claim liability.

"ClearCare Schedule Genie has helped our agency significantly increase our efficiency," said Jerod Evanich, Owner of A Place at Home.  "The true 2-Way Messaging, conversation threading, and delivery confirmations provide complete records of all communications between our agency and our caregivers.  When faced with erroneous unemployment claims, we can easily reference complete message threads, enabling us to avoid time spent at the unemployment office, keep our insurance premiums low, and prevent spending on unnecessary legal fees."  Evanich continued, "With the efficiencies gained by using Schedule Genie, we've been able to concentrate on growing our client base, scaling our business, and delivering the very best care."

"Home care industry professionals have told us that filling open shifts and scheduling across complex care situations are some of their most challenging and time intensive processes, and we're thrilled with the efficiency gains reported from our partners," said Geoff Nudd, CEO of ClearCare.  "With Schedule Genie, we're able to deliver enhanced functionality and mobility that saves agencies time, expense, and risk, so that they can do what they do best -- provide excellent and compassionate care to their clients."
