I have been following the launch of www.ecaring.com and wanted to share this
company with my readers. They have developed a breakthrough web-based system which enables everyone involved with home health care—from family members to home care providers to doctors—to receive up-to-date, useful information on the care, conditions, activities and status of home health care patients.
Robert M. Herzog, eCaring’s CEO, says: “Family members, health care providers and all concerned parties can finally view and use home health care information from their computer or mobile device, anywhere, anytime. For the first time, home health care recipients can enjoy the benefits of digital records.” “Over 60 million Americans are involved with home care situations,” Herzog notes. “But until now, despite the growing emphasis on helping people stay at home longer to receive better quality of care, no system has provided the answer to the most basic of questions for family members who can’t always be by their loved one’s side: ‘What’s going on?’ But that’s all changed with eCaring.”
By providing necessary and critical information on a timely basis, eCaring can improve the health outcomes of those who wish to remain at home. It is an important addition to the home care process.” eCaring’s patent-pending system enables home aides and caregivers, regardless of their language skills or computer literacy, to enter extensive amounts of vital information in real time about the care being received by home health care recipients. “I know from firsthand experience how terribly difficult it is to have to make the transition to coping with home care, emotionally, logistically and financially, which led me to use digital media tools to develop a simpler and better way,” Herzog stated. “We’ve created an icon-based system that users can learn in minutes, which is what makes it so innovative and powerful,” says Herzog. “This system allows home caregivers to quickly and easily provide people outside the home with up-to-date comprehensive information about how their loved ones are being cared for: How well are they eating, or taking their medications? What are their vital signs? What are their activities, their bodily functions, and their physical and mental condition? All these essential concerns can now be tracked in a very detailed way using eCaring.”
