Home healthcare organizations may not consider themselves to be project-based, but if they look at their patients or their patient groups as projects, they might see a lot of benefits if they begin tracking time and expenses to those patients.
Because expense reporting is a necessary part of running a business, it’s important to first understand the challenges involved in tracking projects to expenses. First, project tracking can create extra effort for employees and there needs to be a way for data entered to be validated. Then, once done the work of tracking expenses to particular projects/patients, what do you do with that data?
Expense report technology is working to make tracking expenses and time to particular patients or projects simpler. With automated time and expense for home healthcare organizations, it’s possible to create new projects/patients/groups (or however you organize them) into the system and then it’s easy for employees to allocate their time or expenses to that project.

An automated time and expense solution helps you process that data and integrates directly with your accounting, HR, billing, and even credit card feeds. Employees are paid for their time or reimbursement for their expenses. Then, you can take advantage of analytics concerning that data.
