Lone Worker Safety for Home Health and Hospice Staff

They care for patients alone. Don’t leave them alone.

Visit Path is the lone worker safety feature in the QliqCHAT app for home health and hospice staff. A clinician turns it on at clock-in, and the office sees their live location until clock-out. One discreet SOS alerts your office and on-call team with who and where, with no extra device to carry.

How it works

A lifeline that lives in the workflow.

1On the route

Visit check-in and check-out

The clinician clocks in and out with Visit Path and checks in and out of each visit. Location sharing runs only from clock-in to clock-out. No separate device, no extra app to remember.

2If something's wrong

Discreet SOS alerting

A discreet distress action alerts the office and on-call with the clinician's location, without escalating the situation in the room.

3Help responds

Live staff location

While a clinician is clocked in, the office and on-call team see who they are and where, and every alert and response is documented.

Why it matters

Retention starts with feeling safe.

Workplace safety is a top concern for home-based clinicians, and a reason people leave field roles. Visible investment in their protection is care for the people who deliver care. Visit Path is part of the Caregiver Scheduling and Staff Safety bundle. Related reading: Protecting hospice staff in the field with safety workflows, SOS tools, and location awareness

Common questions

GPS Safety Alerting, answered.

What is the best staff duress tool for home health teams?

The tool your staff will actually use during a visit. A separate device or app means one more thing to carry, charge and remember. Visit Path puts the SOS in the app your clinicians already text in, so the alert reaches your own on-call team with the clinician's location attached.

Who receives a staff duress alert, and how fast?

Your own people, immediately. The alert goes to the office and on-call recipients your agency configures, with the clinician's identity and location, rather than to an outside dispatch center that has to find someone at your agency before help is on the way.

Do staff duress tools work without extra hardware?

Yes, on a phone the clinician already carries. Visit Path is built into the QliqCHAT app on the clinician's own phone, so there is no panic button, fob or second device to carry, charge and keep track of, and nothing extra to issue when someone joins.

Does this track staff all the time?

Only while the clinician has Visit Path turned on. They turn it on themselves when they clock in, and the office sees their live location from then until they clock out. Outside that window, and for anyone who never turns it on, no location is shared.
