BetterRX created 'BetterVisit' for hospice agencies, combining route planning, patient assignment and mileage logging in a single GPS-verified product. In field tests, it reduced driving by about 19%, and 'Smart Patient Assignment' saved roughly 20 minutes per new admission. Home health agencies will have access in 2027.
A territory builder maps service areas around clinician and patient locations, allowing managers to see the travel impact of shifting coverage. GPS-based mileage logging records actual driving, including detours, providing payroll and finance with a verified record instead of self-reported logs. BetterVisit is now available to hospice agencies, even if they do not use BetterRX for pharmacy services.
Verified mileage turns reimbursement from an honor system into an auditable cost line for hospice operators. Availability beyond BetterRX's pharmacy clients makes it a stand-alone operations buy and moves routing software closer to a finance tool than a scheduling add-on.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Verified Care Routing
- GPS-verified routing data transforms home-based care logistics into a measurable operational layer with potential to reduce waste, improve accountability and reshape reimbursement practices.
- Smart Territory Management
- Dynamic territory mapping gives healthcare managers clearer visibility into clinician coverage patterns, creating room for data-led staffing models that reduce travel burdens.
- Finance-linked Scheduling
- Scheduling platforms are evolving into financial control systems as mileage, payroll and route efficiency become directly connected to audited cost management.
Sectors Adopting This
- Hospice Care
- Hospice providers can benefit from route optimization tools that lower clinician drive time while improving transparency across patient visits and reimbursement workflows.
- Home Health Care
- Home health agencies represent a natural expansion market for GPS-based assignment and mileage systems that support distributed clinical teams and rising in-home care demand.
- Healthcare Software
- Healthcare software vendors are finding new value in combining operational planning, workforce logistics and finance-grade verification within single-purpose care delivery platforms.
