About

Welcome to Ankota™, where we’re enabling the next generation in home care management solutions and patient engagement systems that prevent avoidable hospitalizations.  What is it that makes a home care solution next generation?  Of course, it must utilize state-of-the-art technology, do things that existing systems can’t do, and minimize staffing requirements while maximizing productivity. But to be truly next generation, a solution must go much further...  to be next generation, a solution must include state-of-the-art thinking.

Health care today is an extremely complex system of payers, programs, diseases, and treatments that require precise management and oversight.  Data, from a multitude of directions must be moved in and out of systems to ensure knowledgeable decision making that achieves the desired results.  And day to day service delivery is further complicated by payer authorizations and plans of care, both of which can determine if and when services can be billed.  Ankota meets the needs of homecare, private duty and home health care agencies and other providers in a multitude of delivery settings and focuses on several underserved segments specifically in the arena of non-medical home care, Area Agencies on Aging Solutions (AAA), Case Management Service Delivery, Pediatric, Therapy and Respite Services, Managed Care Medicaid Programs & Payer Systems, Remote Population Monitoring and Engagement and Adult Day Care.  Our highly customizable software offers full home care agency and Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) management including telephony, GPS, fixed number generator fobs, biometric authentication and verification schema. It manages people, payers and programs via configurable business rule sets and supports optimized delivery of care in homes, readmission reduction, individualized plans of care and cost controls. Sophisticated scheduling algorithms support managing non-skilled and professional workers in post-acute markets. Foresight Care™, is an innovative remote patient monitoring service and patient engagement platform, that helps avoid hospital readmissions at a very low cost.
