On-Sites are the Solution to Certifying PCAs at Scale for NY Homecare Agencies

New York’s homecare agencies are under immense pressure to scale their workforce quickly and efficiently. With the growing demand for Personal Care Assistants (PCAs), agencies face a critical question:

How do you certify caregivers at scale while staying focused on the day-to-day operations of running your agency?

The answer lies in Mobile Health’s onsite occupational solutions, a streamlined, scalable approach to delivering the pre-employment screenings required for PCA accreditation. By bringing healthcare professionals directly to your agency, Mobile Health ensures a seamless process that prioritizes compliance, quality, and efficiency.

The Challenges of PCA Certification

Certifying caregivers as PCAs involves rigorous requirements, including physical exams, drug tests, and tuberculosis (Quantiferon) tests. These screenings are crucial for compliance and caregiver readiness but can create bottlenecks in the onboarding process.

For agencies managing a large workforce, the logistics of scheduling appointments, tracking results, and ensuring compliance can feel overwhelming. That’s where Mobile Health steps in.
