Tackling Administrative Burden in Post-Acute Care: A Smarter Way Forward

If you're a practice manager, you know the drill: faxes, portals, calls, tracking signatures on spreadsheets — and the ever-growing stack of paperwork tied to post-acute care. The time it takes to coordinate with home health providers isn’t just frustrating — it’s eating into your staff’s capacity, delaying care, and leaving money on the table. 

A recent survey conducted by Fierce Healthcare, in partnership with Forcura, shed light on just how widespread and costly this problem is. 

📊 Key insights from the research: 

• 33% of practices spend 10+ hours per week managing post-acute documentation. That’s time stolen from direct patient care. 
• Over a third of practices rely on 5 to 7+ staff just to manage referrals, phone calls, and faxes. 
• Nearly 50% of respondents didn’t know they can bill for care plan oversight—a missed revenue opportunity. 
• 93% of practices are not satisfied with their current coordination process. 

So, what’s getting in the way of fixing this? Often, it’s a simple lack of awareness. This isn’t just “how it’s always been.” There is a better, smarter way. 

Enter Forcura Circle. 

Designed with direct feedback from providers and practice leaders, Forcura Circle is a centralized e-signature and workflow platform that connects your practice to virtually all of your post-acute partners — in one portal.
