Axxess Care, an innovative scheduling and staffing solution, matches home healthcare organizations seeking visit coverage with qualified local clinicians to deliver timely patient care.
Before providing care, clinicians must create an Axxess Care profile that reflects their skills and experience. Once the profile is created, clinicians can apply to fulfill visits for organizations seeking coverage.
“In the fast-paced world of home healthcare, it is important to stand out,” said Lorna Barkins, Senior Market Specialist at Axxess. “The Axxess Care profile is a digital handshake and first impression opportunity to showcase skills and experience to home health organizations.”
Barkins discussed how optimizing your profile can make the difference between being just another clinician and being a go-to professional that organizations are looking for.
Complete the Profile Thoroughly
A complete profile is the first step to success. A well-rounded profile demonstrates professionalism and attention to detail.
“Each section should be filled with accurate and current information,” said Barkins. “This includes contact information, work experience, education, certifications and specialties.”
Highlight Skills and Expertise
Barkins explained that when completing skills assessments, it is important to accurately rate each skill based on your level of independence.
“This enables the platform to customize visit opportunities and ensure they match your independent competencies,” explained Barkins.
List any specialized training or certifications. This helps organizations quickly understand your qualifications and how you can meet their specific needs.
Use a Professional Photo
A great photo can build trust and make your profile more memorable.
“Your profile photo is often the first thing organizations notice,” said Barkins. “Choose a professional, high-quality headshot that shows you dressed appropriately, looking friendly and approachable.”
Write a Compelling Biography
The biography is your opportunity to tell your story.
Barkins stressed that the biography should include a concise, engaging summary that highlights your experience, passion for healthcare and commitment to patient care.
“Use this space to reflect who you are as a person and what makes you stand out as a clinician,” Barkins said.
Keep Your Availability Updated
Barkins advised clinicians to regularly update their availability calendar to reflect the days and times they are open for visits.
“This will ensure the platform only displays visit opportunities that match your available schedule,” explained Barkins.
Share Your Profile With Organizations
Choose to share your profile with home health organizations seeking clinicians in your area. Enabling this feature in the privacy settings increases your visibility by letting organizations know you are actively seeking Axxess Care visits.
Keep Your Profile Up to Date
Barkins noted that your profile should evolve as your career progresses.
“Update it regularly with new certifications, skills and experiences,” Barkins said. “Staying current not only enhances your profile, but also demonstrates your commitment to continuous learning and professional growth.”
Optimizing your Axxess Care profile can have a significant impact on your success.
By presenting yourself professionally, highlighting your unique skills, and keeping your information up to date, you can make more connections and receive more opportunities.
“A great profile is not just about listing your credentials,” Barkins said. “It is about telling your story and connecting with organizations on a professional level. “Take the time to refine your profile and watch your opportunities grow.”
