HomeCare Connect Offers Temperature Screenings as Employees Return

Friday, May 8, 2020 | 0

HomeCare Connect announced plans to offer on-site temperature screenings in an effort to protect workers from the new coronavirus as businesses in several states take steps to reopen.

Plans to open workplaces have prompted employers to implement programs to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, which include social distancing, aggressive cleaning and disinfecting, face masks, split shifts and temperature checks.

To help its clients and employers protect their employees, HomeCare Connect is offering on-site temperature screening. HomeCare Connect said clinicians from its network will use no-touch infrared thermometers to make sure no employee or visitor with a fever enters the workplace.

Temperature screenings are available nationally and on a 24/7 basis to accommodate factories and other operations with multiple shifts. Initially, HomeCare Connect is offering the service to employers, insurance carriers, third-party administrators and other payers that are already doing business with the company.

HomeCare Connect, based in Winter Park, Florida, manages the quality and cost of home health care, durable medical equipment and supplies, home modification, prosthetics and orthotics for workers’ compensation patients and payers.
