Supply Run Confirmation

A phone tool where a home care nurse photographs and logs supplies taken from the office, so the next nurse knows what is in the car.

Who pays
Small home care agency owner
The problem
Nurses say they lose track of what is in their trunk and run out to the car mid visit for supplies. One nurse wrote that they have lost every vital signs item and pair of scissors they bought, and another said you would be surprised how many times you run out to the car for supplies.
The gap
Agency software covers scheduling, charting and messaging. Nothing in the results handles shared car stock between nurses. The closest tools are general caregiver organizers, not supply handoff between field staff.
Already out there
People asking for it
The big assumption
Agency owners will pay for supply tracking when nurses already work around it with their own totes and texts.
Test it this week
Ask five small agency owners what they spend monthly replacing lost supplies and whether they would pay to stop it. Ask five nurses if they would photograph a shelf before taking stock.

Agency Policy Binder

A searchable phone version of state and agency policies for home care nurses, with a read receipt for the office.

Who pays
Home care agency compliance officer
The problem
Nurses cannot find the policy they need during a visit. Guidance tells them to look in the employee handbook, the agency intranet or ask a supervisor, which does not work in a patient's living room.
The gap
The results show agency software for scheduling, charting and HIPAA messaging, and general clinical reference tools. None of them host the agency's own policies in a searchable phone format with read receipts.
Already out there
People asking for it
The big assumption
Compliance officers will pay for search and read receipts rather than keep a PDF on the shared drive.
Test it this week
Ask three agency compliance officers how they currently prove a nurse read a policy, and whether they would pay for read receipts on a phone.
