Overview
Giv’s mission is to empower care. We aim to equip Direct Support Providers (DSPs) and agency owners with tools that help them deliver the highest quality of care. Our IDD software is designed with individuals at its center, offering DSPs and agency owners a straightforward, user-friendly platform that truly supports both their needs and those of their clients. Rather than replacing care with technology, our goal is to enhance care, making it more effective for clients and simpler for DSPs and agency leaders.
Giv’s software combines all your essential tools into a single, all-in-one solution. By consolidating multiple systems into one streamlined, automated platform, we simplify processes like billing, payroll, documentation and compliance, making them more accessible and efficient. This integrated approach saves agency owners time and money, allowing them to focus more on what matters most—the individual.
Understanding IDD software
IDD software functions as an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system tailored specifically for IDD agencies. These platforms assist with managing client information, staff scheduling, billing, and payroll, all while helping agencies maintain essential compliance. The primary goal of IDD specific software is to organize an agency’s critical tasks and data to streamline operations and improve oversight.
There are various types of IDD software solutions available, each with its own focus. Some platforms specialize in Electronic Medication Administration Records (eMARs) or shift scheduling, while others combine multiple features into a single, cohesive solution. These tools are designed to simplify complex data management, making it easier for agency owners to stay organized and for DSPs to access and track information effectively.
Giv's IDD software features
Giv offers a range of unique features designed specifically for the needs of IDD agencies. Here are some highlights of what our software can do:
User-friendly
As an all-in-one solution, Giv covers everything you need in the developmental disabilities industry. Our platform is easy to use, enabling staff to efficiently track client data. Available on both desktop and mobile, the software tailors each interface to meet user needs—DSPs use the mobile app, while the desktop version provides agency owners with more robust features. User permissions and access control keep data secure and make navigation simpler for each role.
Customizable data collection
Recognizing the unique requirements of each agency and state-specific regulations, Giv is built with customization in mind. Whether your agency operates group homes or provides one-on-one individual care, Giv adapts to your structure. Our platform allows for custom forms and notes, ensuring that your specific needs are met. For example, you can easily create a form for DSPs to complete a vitals check or design a unique client-specific form linked directly to shifts. This ensures direct support staff are reminded of essential tasks and required information.
Real-time tracking and reporting
Giv enables real-time data tracking and reporting, keeping essential information organized and accessible. When a shift is created, all related client documentation is attached, with mandatory fields that prevent clock-out until all information is recorded. You can also require documentation review prior to shifts being closed out. This data syncs automatically from the mobile app to the desktop platform, where agency owners can utilize reporting tools and make informed decisions to support clients effectively.
Automation
With Giv’s software, automation is seamless because all information is centralized and interconnected. You never have to worry about scheduling a shift beyond a client’s Medicaid budget—the system automatically prevents scheduling when budget limits are reached. Medicaid claims are effortlessly generated, as service codes are directly linked to shifts, making it easy to export data for quick and accurate claims processing. Staff can stay up-to-date on HR information through the app, giving them visibility into their estimated pay, total hours, and shifts worked. Giv automates numerous tasks, freeing agency owners from routine tasks and allowing them to regain valuable time for client care.
Benefits of using Giv's IDD software
The biggest advantage of Giv’s platform is its all-in-one approach. Instead of juggling multiple software programs to handle different tasks, agencies can rely on one comprehensive tool to streamline communication, enhance client documentation, and ultimately allocate more time for direct client care. By consolidating data in one place, Giv allows agencies to efficiently track incident reports, monitor client goals, manage staff and more. These integrated features give agencies greater control over operations and support informed decision-making.
With Giv, daily shifts become easy to manage for staff. The software provides timely reminders for tasks such as medication administration, goal tracking, and shift-specific documentation, reducing stress and helping DSPs focus on providing accurate, individualized care. By centralizing information, Giv enables staff to make better decisions for clients and reduces confusion across the agency. Clients progress toward their goals when staff are empowered to support those goals.
