Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for controlling home health care services while improving the consistency and reliability of such services. The present invention also improves the productivity of the caregivers so that costs are reduced and care is improved. Such improvements reduce costs and provide more time with the patient. Indirect costs are also reduced because a more reliable home health care service allows a greater proportion of patients to be treated in their homes at a much lower cost than if they were still receiving inpatient services. During an emergency event, emergency responders have the ability to identify patients most at risk based on proximity to the event and based on the patient's medical condition.
