Why Choose Us
One-size-fits-all software falls short in home healthcare, where patient needs fluctuate wildly. We build a custom AI system that learns from your unique data—home visit logs, prescription patterns, and seasonal flu spikes—to forecast inventory with pinpoint accuracy. HIPAA-compliant by design, it integrates seamlessly with your EHR and supply vendors, creating a patient-centric workflow that anticipates needs before they arise. No more guessing; just reliable predictions that keep care uninterrupted.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency in Your Daily Operations
Minimize Waste and Maximize Cash Flow
Minimize Waste and Maximize Cash Flow: Overstocking catheters, ostomy bags, or nitrile gloves drains resources in home health agencies. Our custom system, leveraging predictive analytics on patient acuity data, reduces excess inventory by 30-40% within the first six months—based on benchmarks from similar Medicare-certified providers—freeing up capital for direct patient care while ensuring CMS compliance.
Enhance Patient Satisfaction and Outcomes
Enhance Patient Satisfaction and Outcomes: Stockouts of insulin pens or compression stockings during home visits can delay treatments and erode trust. Achieve 98% supply availability through real-time demand forecasting, ensuring nurses arrive fully prepared every time—leading to 15-20% faster recoveries and improved HCAHPS scores in post-acute care settings.
Streamline Compliance and Reduce Audit Risks
Streamline Compliance and Reduce Audit Risks: HIPAA, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and Joint Commission standards demand meticulous tracking of lot numbers and expiration dates. Our encrypted, audit-ready system automates documentation with blockchain-secured logs, cutting compliance time by 50% and shielding your agency from penalties exceeding $50,000 per violation.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were scrambling during flu season—always short on N95 masks, hand sanitizers, and nebulizer kits for our homebound patients. Their custom forecasting, integrated with our scheduling software, cut our stockouts by 50% in just three months, allowing our nurses to focus on patient care rather than last-minute procurement rushes."
Sarah Jenkins
Director of Clinical Operations, CareAtHome Services (a Medicare-certified home health agency serving 500+ patients)
"Integrating AIQ Labs' system with our Epic EHR was seamless, and the AI-driven predictions for wound care supplies like hydrocolloid dressings and negative pressure therapy units have been spot-on, even with variable patient loads. We saved $15,000 last quarter on overstock alone, without any compromise to our wound healing protocols or care quality."
Dr. Michael Rivera
Chief Medical Officer, ElderCare Network (a network of 10 skilled nursing facilities)
"As a small rural agency with 20 mobile nurses, we couldn't afford enterprise-level software. AIQ Labs built a custom solution that fits our variable home visit schedules perfectly—demand forecasts for diabetic supplies and fall prevention equipment adjust in real-time for weather delays or patient no-shows, and it's fully HIPAA-compliant with role-based access controls."
Lisa Thompson
Supply Chain and Logistics Manager, HomeHealth Partners (a boutique agency specializing in rural elder care)
Simple 3-Step Process
Discovery and Data Mapping
We audit your current inventory processes, patient data flows, and pain points to map a custom blueprint. This ensures the AI aligns with your agency's unique home care rhythms.
AI Model Development and Integration
Our engineers build and train the forecasting engine using your anonymized data, integrating it with EHR systems and vendors for real-time, compliant operations.
Testing, Deployment, and Optimization
We run simulations on scenarios like peak demand periods, deploy the system, and refine it based on live feedback—delivering a production-ready tool in weeks, not months.
Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your inventory forecasting ensure HIPAA compliance?
HIPAA compliance is foundational in our builds. We use end-to-end encryption for all patient-related data, conduct regular security audits, and structure the AI to anonymize sensitive information during model training. For home healthcare agencies, this means forecasts draw from aggregated visit patterns without exposing individual PHI. We've helped agencies pass audits with zero findings, reducing compliance overhead by 40%. Our approach aligns with HHS guidelines, ensuring de-identified data powers predictions while maintaining a strict chain of custody.
What data sources does the system use for accurate predictions?
We tailor data inputs to your agency's specifics: historical supply usage from EHRs, patient census trends, home visit schedules, and external factors like seasonal illnesses or local health alerts. Unlike generic tools, our AI processes this in a unified way, achieving 95% accuracy in benchmarks. For example, it factors in aging-in-place demographics to predict rises in mobility aid needs. Integration is seamless, pulling from systems like PointClickCare without manual exports.
How long does it take to implement the custom forecasting solution?
Implementation typically spans 6-8 weeks, depending on your data complexity. Week 1-2: Discovery and mapping. Weeks 3-5: Building and testing the AI model with your data. Weeks 6-8: Integration, training your team, and go-live with monitoring. This phased approach minimizes disruption to ongoing care. Agencies often see initial forecasts within the first month, with full optimization by quarter's end—far quicker than piecing together off-the-shelf tools.
Can this system handle variable demand from home-based care?
Absolutely. Home healthcare's unpredictability—fluctuating visit volumes, patient acuity changes—is exactly what our AI excels at. It uses machine learning to analyze patterns like post-hospital discharge surges or chronic condition flare-ups, adjusting forecasts dynamically. One client reduced emergency orders by 45% during winter peaks. The system also incorporates nurse feedback loops, refining predictions for items like IV supplies based on real-world usage, ensuring your mobile teams stay equipped.
What if our agency grows or changes suppliers?
Our solutions are built scalable. As your patient load increases from 200 to 500, the AI auto-scales without performance dips, handling larger datasets efficiently. For supplier changes, we design modular integrations—switching from McKesson to Cardinal Health takes days, not months, via configurable APIs. We've supported agencies through expansions, maintaining forecast accuracy above 90% while adapting to new vendor lead times or pricing structures.
How do you measure the ROI of this forecasting system?
ROI is tracked through clear metrics: reduction in stockouts (target 50% drop), overstock savings (average 30% budget recovery), and time saved on manual planning (up to 15 hours/week per manager). We provide a custom dashboard showing these in real-time, plus quarterly reports benchmarking against industry standards like HFMA guidelines. Clients typically recoup investment in 4-6 months via cost avoidance and improved cash flow, with one agency reporting $25K annual savings on supplies alone.
