THE LIGHTS SHINE BRIGHT AT SANDATA - NYC BLACKOUT OF 2003
"Within two hours of the fateful event, I received a call from Bridget Simone, Assistant Commissioner of Home Care Services for the City of New York Human Resources Administration, who called on behalf of Commissioner Iris Hernandez. Ms. Simone inquired if Sandata and Santrax were up and running and if we were receiving calls. I assured her that we never skipped a beat. Throughout the blackout Santrax remained HRA's only point of contact providing vital information on New York City's most needy citizens."

Federal, state and local governments look to Sandata's solutions to help ensure that their Medicare and Medicaid home health pays for actual hours of service delivered in the home of the patient. Moreover, anti-fraud auditors at all levels of government enjoy the accuracy and availability of permanent, comprehensive electronic audit trail that Sandata's solutions provide.
Governments benefit from Sandata Technologies, Inc.'s ability to help ensure standards are met, quality of care is tracked, billing is truthful and accurate, and costs are kept to a minimum. And thanks to Sandata's large-scale data collection, processing and reporting capabilities, governments can accomplish their anti-fraud and oversight responsibilities with the permanent and comprehensive audit trail.
Additionally, Sandata Technologies is at the forefront of working with local, state and federal governments to gain acceptance of electronic records in lieu of paper documentation. In 1994, Sandata broke new ground by collaborating with the City of New York's Human Resources Administration to gain acceptance of the electronic telephony records in their Medicaid home care program, called the Home Attendant Program. A few years later, after realizing the cost savings and the value of the electronic audit trail, the City of New York decided to require that all of their Medicaid contracting home care agencies use a Telephony for Home Care system.
Today, Sandata continues its leadership role as an advocate on behalf of the industry within the legislative and executive branches of governments by promoting the use of electronic records in all 50 states' Medicaid programs. Sandata's goal is to ensure that local, state, and federal governments along with the providers and recipients of care realize the benefits of Sandata's advanced technologies. Our ultimate goal is the help them deliver the most efficient and effective home health care and child welfare services possible.
