Your home health field workers are your biggest security liability — or your strongest defense.
Take our free 3-minute compliance audit to score your home health agency's field-worker MFA, device hardening, and EHR access monitoring across Homecare Homebase, WellSky, MatrixCare, Axxess, and any other platform you run.
Field workers access EHRs from uncontrolled locations — patient homes, coffee shops, libraries — without the network controls your office has.
Lost or stolen devices leak months of cached patient data. Without remote lockdown, an old phone or tablet can be a breach waiting to happen.
Multi-platform EHRs need unified MFA. Homecare Homebase, WellSky, MatrixCare — each platform has different access logs. You need one system watching all of them.
The ShieldForce Mobile Field-Worker Security Protocol™
Built to protect field-worker access to any EHR platform. From the moment a field worker logs in from a patient's home to the moment they're offboarded, every access point is monitored and controlled.
EHR Platform Compliance Monitoring
Monitor field-worker access across Homecare Homebase, WellSky, MatrixCare, Axxess, and other platforms your agency runs. Detect unauthorized access attempts in real time.
Hardware-Backed Remote MFA
Multi-factor authentication that works offline and doesn't depend on carrier networks. Field workers can authenticate even in areas with poor connectivity.
Unencrypted Device Lockdown
If a device is lost or stolen, immediately revoke EHR access and wipe locally cached patient data before it can be accessed.
Home Health Field-Worker MFA & EHR Compliance Audit
Six questions covering field-worker MFA, EHR monitoring, and device security. Takes about three minutes.
Standard IT Vendor vs. ShieldForce
A standard IT vendor focuses on network security. It doesn't understand field-worker workflows or the specific weak points in Homecare Homebase and WellSky integrations.
| Standard IT Vendor | ShieldForce Home Health Program | |
|---|---|---|
| SLA response time to lost device | Manual, hours to days | Automatic, under 15 minutes |
| EHR platform monitoring breadth | Single platform only | All EHR platforms in use |
| MFA deployment for field staff | Optional; IT-managed per user | Enforced across all field roles |
| Lost device response | Manual lockdown request | Automatic device lockdown & wipe |
| Wi-Fi network isolation | No separation between networks | Clinically separated networks with access controls |
Common questions
What is field-worker MFA and why does home health need it?
Field workers in home health access patient records from tablets, phones, and laptops in patients' homes. Multi-factor authentication ensures that even if a device is lost or credentials are compromised, attackers cannot log in without a second authentication step.
Does this work across all EHR platforms home health agencies use?
Yes. ShieldForce monitors and protects field-worker access across Homecare Homebase, WellSky, MatrixCare, Axxess, and other EHR platforms. The MFA layer sits between the user and the EHR, regardless of platform.
What happens if a field worker loses their device?
ShieldForce can remotely lockdown or wipe lost devices, preventing access to cached patient data. Offboarded workers are immediately removed from all EHR access, even if they still have a physical device.
How does this affect the patient experience in home health?
It doesn't interrupt patient care. Field workers still log in the same way, but with an added security step. Documented incident response also improves your home health agency's defensibility in a compliance review.
