CareKeeper Reports Successful Launch of VividNet Software at Private Duty Advance Training Conference

ATLANTA, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- CareKeeper Software, Inc. introduced its latest generation of homecare and medical staffing software -- VividNet at the Private Duty Conference & Expo last week in Orlando, FL. Based upon Microsoft .NET technology, VividNet is an easy to use web-based application designed to streamline the workflow processes of home health, private duty homecare and medical staffing agencies. Agencies of all sizes can efficiently and effectively manage client and worker information, complex scheduling requirements, billing and payroll through a single enterprise system.

"Since 1986, CareKeeper Software has harnessed the latest in technology to deliver our clients the necessary tools that enable them to work more efficiently," stated Jake Levy, CEO of CareKeeper Software. "VividNet offers our marketplace a solution that is easy to use, easy to implement, yet comprehensive in function to handle the diversified business requirements of home health, homecare and medical staffing companies. Agencies want to streamline their businesses while increasing the quality of care they deliver to their clients. VividNet can assist them in this endeavor and more."

CareKeeper offered multiple VividNet demonstrations throughout the conference whereby attendees were able to work hands-on with its product specialists. Such meetings were conducted via wireless Internet connections demonstrating the speed and performance of running VividNet via the web.

"CareKeeper's launch of its web-based VividNet will enable customers like Edelweiss Home Health Care to operate from anywhere at anytime in order to more effectively run and grow our business. Our agency will gain a competitive advantage by having the capability to access and manage critical client and employee information via the Internet," said Mark Austin, CEO, Edelweiss Home Health Care of Golden Valley, MN.

"We reviewed software applications from the other exhibitors at the Private Duty Expo in Orlando and found VividNet to be the most comprehensive and easy-to-use solution for both our Private Duty and Medical Staffing divisions. Using the web, we better centralize our branch locations at a lowered cost than what we currently are doing," said Sue Garrett, Manager of Nurses Available, Inc. in Lancaster, PA.

Dawn Seek, Director of Operations for Adventist Home Assistance in Silver Spring, MD, stated, "The VividNet product allows staff to be mobile and responsive to client's needs regardless of their location. The new scheduling enhancements and available caregiver list will save time and allow the staff to deliver better customer service."

Carol Mullen, Executive Director at Harmony Home Care in Suwanee, GA, commented, "We were blown away by the VividNet software. It is obvious that CareKeeper has been in the homecare software business for many years."

"My team has been reviewing homecare software for sometime now. CareKeeper's VividNet application was easy to understand. It clicked and made sense to us," said Diane Denesha, RN, President of Creative Home Services in Mashpee, MA.

VividNet is highly scalable from 1 to virtually unlimited users. Offered as a web-hosted solution, deployment of VividNet is quick and easy. Unlike typical client-server applications, VividNet requires no servers or server software to be purchased. Users can securely access VividNet through a standard web-browser at anytime and anywhere the Internet is available. VividNet is also available for customer-hosted environments.
