Axxess and KanTime come up together when a home health or hospice agency picks a new system for charting, scheduling, and billing. Both run clinical documentation, electronic visit verification (EVV, the state check that confirms each home visit happened), and claims for agencies with more than one line of care. Axxess surrounds its core system with training, staffing, patient-survey, and revenue-cycle tools, and KanTime puts home health, hospice, private duty, and pediatric programs in one agency system.
Growing home health, hospice, home care, and palliative agencies that want one ecosystem
Buyers unwilling to standardize on Axxess workflows across branches
Multi-line agencies spanning home health, hospice, private duty, and pediatrics
Buyers who will not migrate caregivers onto mobile point-of-care tools

Axxess is for a growing agency that wants home health, hospice, home care, and palliative care on one vendor, with compliance, survey, and revenue-cycle tools around it, and that will make every branch work the same way. KanTime is for an agency running home health beside private duty or pediatric programs that wants charting, EVV, scheduling, and billing in one system, and can train field staff to chart on mobile devices.
Walk away from both if you only want a scheduling app with no clinical charts, or if you are replacing a hospital inpatient EHR.
