These new capabilities will enable providers to manage care across multiple service types within a single, unified system. Features will include tailored workflows, mobile-friendly tools for carers in the community, and enhanced scheduling and visit management. This development ensures greater flexibility, improved continuity of care, and consistent record-keeping across different care environments.
