Footprints — Your Invisible Audit Shield
Most EMRs document care. Footprints is hospice EMR software that protects it. We engineered every feature from the ground up with one question in mind: would this hold up under a CMS audit? The result is a platform that keeps your agency compliant, your clinicians efficient, and your revenue secure.
Compliance & Audit Protection
Auditor-Grade Compliance Our backend structures data exactly the way CMS auditors demand to see it. By eliminating the operational gaps that trigger Additional Documentation Requests (ADRs), Footprints acts as a continuous line of defense for your license and your bottom line.
Reduce Audit Risk
Structured documentation and built-in compliance workflows help teams maintain accurate records and stay prepared for CMS reviews.
Consistent Clinical Documentation
Standardized workflows help reduce missing information and improve record quality.
CAP Monitoring
Footprints continuously monitors your Cumulative Aggregate Payment (CAP) cap in real time, alerting your team before you approach the aggregate limit — preventing the devastating Medicare recoupments that catch agencies off guard.

QAPI Monitoring
Our built-in Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement engine tracks the metrics that matter most:
- Pain, sleep, meal intake, and symptom severity
- Visit timeliness and frequency compliance
- Care plan updates and HOPE requirements
- Recertifications and Face-to-Face (F2F) documentation
- And many more administrative and clinical quality indicators
AI-Powered Efficiency
AI Voice Tool Clinicians can speak their vitals and assessment findings directly into Footprints — hands-free, at the bedside, without breaking their workflow. Documentation happens in real time, not hours later at a desk.
AI Automation Footprints AI takes the administrative burden off your clinical team:
- Care Plan Automation — Generates care plans automatically based on the clinician’s assessment notes
- Visit Summary Automation — Produces accurate visit summaries without manual write-ups
- Physician Certification Automation — Reviews clinical documentation trends and prepares certification paperwork, reducing physician burden and turnaround time
Built for Nurses, Not IT Departments
If your EMR requires workarounds, your compliance is already at risk. Footprints mirrors the natural workflow of a hospice clinician — from intake to recertification — ensuring rapid adoption, accurate data entry at every touchpoint, and zero disruption to patient care. When the software disappears into the background, your team can focus on what they do best: caring for patients and families.
Natural Hospice Workflow
Footprints follows the way hospice clinicians actually work — from intake to recertification — without forcing awkward software workarounds.
Fast Team Adoption
A clinician-first interface helps nurses learn quickly, document confidently, and stay productive with less training overhead.
Accurate Data Entry
Guided workflows support consistent data entry across visits, care plans, documentation, and certification steps.
More Time for Care
When the software disappears into the background, clinicians can focus more on supporting patients and families.
