BetterRX Launches BetterVisit to Cut Mileage and Labor Costs for Hospice and Home Health Agencies

Published

on

By

Field tests show this new GPS-verified field operations system reduces mileage by an average of 19% and saves about 20 minutes on every new patient assignment.

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BetterRX today announced the launch of BetterVisit™, which helps hospice and home health agencies reduce mileage and labor costs by replacing the patchwork of caseload planning, patient assignment, and mileage reporting tools with one GPS-verified field operations system. In pre-launch field tests, BetterVisit cut mileage by an average of about 19% with optimized routes, and its Smart Patient Assignment saved an average of approximately 20 minutes on every new admission¹. For a busy agency, that time adds up to hours back every week.

BetterVisit gives agency leaders and finance teams the same accurate picture, so clinicians spend less time driving and more time with patients. — Eric Hemming, President, BetterRX.

For home-based care agencies, travel is one of the largest costs they can control. Agency leaders know mileage reimbursement is not a small line item, and every hour spent driving is paid time not spent with patients. Yet the data behind both costs is incomplete. Mileage is usually self-reported by employees or estimated from address to address, so agencies reimburse what was written down, not what was actually driven. Meanwhile, agencies manually balance caseloads and geography with spreadsheets, maps, and phone calls, without clearly seeing what each assignment will cost in miles and time. BetterVisit is built to close that gap.

“As we grow, we’ll get a rush of referrals in one territory, and suddenly one nurse is buried while another has room,” said Linda Booker, Administrator at OSPTA. “We used to draw territories based on assumptions and whoever knew the area best. BetterVisit gives us a real picture of where our patients are, so we can rebalance before anyone gets buried. It makes life a lot easier.”

The cost isn’t only in miles. Capacity is a challenge across home-based care: industry research shows more than 60% of home health providers report turning down referrals². Every referral turned away represents lost revenue, and every hour lost to driving or phone tag reduces an agency’s capacity to admit patients.

BetterRX built BetterVisit after hearing about the same coordination gap again and again from the agencies it works with every day. BetterVisit brings territories, patient assignment, routing, and verified mileage into one system:

Territory Builder. Draws balanced territories based on where clinicians and patients are located, and shows how each change affects every clinician’s average mileage.Smart Patient Assignment. Uses the agency’s territories to recommend the clinician best placed to take each new patient, and shows the miles that patient would add each week before anyone commits.Daily Route Optimization. Optimizes routes every day and re-sequences visits automatically when a new patient or unplanned visit is added.GPS-Verified Mileage. Records the miles clinicians actually drive, including detours, instead of self-reported or estimated mileage. Visits and mileage that need a second look are surfaced for review before payroll, so leaders review exceptions instead of auditing every log.Real-Time Coordination. Shows leaders which clinicians are available and closest when a patient’s needs change, so they can coordinate coverage without calling around. The agency still decides who goes.Family Updates. Sends families a text when the clinician is on the way, manually or automatically. The family doesn’t need to download an app.

“Agency leaders told us the hardest part of their day isn’t delivering care. It’s coordinating everything around it,” said Eric Hemming, President of BetterRX. “They make dozens of decisions a day with incomplete information, and finance teams reimburse mileage they can’t verify. BetterVisit gives agency leaders and finance teams the same accurate picture, so clinicians spend less time driving and more time with patients.”

For field-based staff such as clinicians, PRNs, and chaplains, BetterVisit means a smarter route between visits, reimbursement for the miles they actually drive, and voice dictation for notes on the spot.

With BetterVisit, BetterRX is once again improving the care experience for hospice organizations. BetterVisit is available now to any hospice agency, whether or not it uses BetterRX for pharmacy services, and will be available to home health agencies in 2027.

From Answers to Action: KNEX Unveils AI Agentic Apps for Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards at Oracle AI World 2026

Published

on

By

Building on the AI Agent Packs launched earlier this year, KNEX introduces purpose-built agentic applications that don’t just answer questions, but plan, execute, and complete end-to-end business processes inside the Oracle Applications (unlimited) customers already run.

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — KNEX Technology, a recognized Oracle Partner, today announced at Oracle AI World 2026 the availability of KNEX AI Agentic Apps for Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards. The new apps bring AI-powered Command Centers to finance, HR, and supply chain teams, helping organizations eliminate manual work, accelerate cycle times, and modernize their Oracle investments without replacing them.

Our Command Centers put agents to work across complete business processes, inside the EBS, PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards environments our customers have relied on for decades.

The launch builds on the KNEX AI Agent Packs introduced earlier this year, which gave EBS, PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards users conversational access to live enterprise data. KNEX AI Agentic Apps take the next step, moving from answering questions to completing work.

KNEX AI Agentic Apps are created for the many organizations running EBS, PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards that are unable to migrate to Oracle Fusion Applications. They give these customers a practical path to agentic AI on the Oracle Applications (unlimited) they already depend on, without waiting on a costly and disruptive migration.

At the heart of each Agentic App are Command Centers powered by KNEX AI Agent Packs. Each Command Center opens with a daily briefing for its functional area, highlighting what changed, what needs attention, and what’s coming up. Configurable tiles deliver the information and AI-generated insights each team cares about most, and, optionally, users can initiate actions directly from the Command Center, with people kept in the loop for review and approval.

Security is built in, not bolted on. KNEX AI Agents and Agentic Apps enforce role-based access using the responsibilities and privileges users already hold in the underlying Oracle Applications (unlimited) suite. A user sees only the data, and can take only the actions, that EBS, PeopleSoft, or JD Edwards already permits for their role, so AI never becomes a back door to sensitive information. The apps are embedded directly in existing Oracle deployments, work with live transactional data, and deploy without an upgrade, migration, or major transformation project.

“Earlier this year, our AI Agent Packs showed customers how much faster work gets done when they can simply ask their Oracle Applications (unlimited) for answers,” said Basheer Khan, CEO of KNEX Technology. “With KNEX AI Agentic Apps, we’re moving from answers to action. Our Command Centers put agents to work across complete business processes, inside the EBS, PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards environments our customers have relied on for decades.”

“Agentic AI only delivers value in the enterprise when it is accurate, governed, and grounded in real business data,” said Gustavo Gonzalez, CTO of KNEX Technology. “Every action is traceable, critical steps can require human approval, and customers stay in control of how much autonomy they grant.”

Existing Agent Pack customers can extend their deployments with Agentic Apps, while new customers can start with the processes that matter most to them.

Attendees at Oracle AI World 2026 can see live demonstrations at KNEX booth #5026 at The Venetian Convention and Expo Center in Las Vegas through Oct. 28. To learn more or schedule a demonstration, visit www.knextech.com.

Movantis Integrates with the Stellar Network to Expand Its Cross-Border Payments Infrastructure

Published

on

By

Announced at Meridian 2026 in Lisbon, the integration adds the Stellar network to Movantis’s multi-rail infrastructure, starting with USDC settlement for cross-border flows from the United States to El Salvador.

LISBON, Portugal, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At Meridian 2026, the Stellar Development Foundation’s flagship annual conference, Movantis, the unified financial infrastructure platform that enables businesses to move value across global markets, announced an integration with the Stellar network.

The collaboration adds the Stellar network as an additional digital settlement rail within Movantis’s architecture. The Stellar network accelerates the digital settlement leg, while Movantis leverages its connections to regulated local infrastructure and partners for liquidity, fiat conversion where needed, and last-mile payout.

For Movantis, the integration is part of a broader multi-rail strategy. Traditional banking infrastructure, local payment systems and digital settlement rails each play a role, giving the platform greater flexibility and resilience across markets. The Stellar network provides an additional blockchain rail for digital settlement, while Movantis connects that settlement layer with regulated markets and local payout infrastructure.

The first planned use case will focus on movement of value from the United States to El Salvador. Through its regulated subsidiaries, Movantis plans to use USDC on the Stellar network as the settlement leg, with local partners supporting conversion and last-mile payout. As a dollarized economy, El Salvador is a natural starting point: value settles in USDC and is paid out to recipients in US dollars, with no additional currency exposure along the way.

For businesses and end users, the blockchain layer stays behind the scenes. They continue to use familiar currencies and payment experiences, while the settlement leg runs 24/7, including weekends and holidays. That can reduce the capital remittance companies and businesses need to keep prefunded in the corridor.

The integration is also designed to work in the other direction. Businesses operating on the Stellar network will be able to reach recipients in Latin America through Movantis, settling in stablecoins and paying out locally. Remittance companies, fintechs and wallets will be able to access the corridor through the same Movantis integration they already use for other markets.

“Cross-border payments do not need one winning rail. They need infrastructure that can use the right rail for each leg of the transaction,” said Robert Gatto, Chief Revenue Officer of Movantis. “Stellar gives us another efficient way to settle, and our job is making sure that speed turns into dollars a business or a family can actually use in El Salvador.”

“Movantis has spent two decades building local partnerships and payout networks designed to make cross-border payments work across the Americas, and that is exactly the kind of foundation the Stellar network was built to support,” said Jose Fernandez da Ponte, President and Chief Growth Officer at the Stellar Development Foundation. “Integrating the Stellar network as a settlement option, starting with the U.S.-to-El Salvador corridor, is designed to support faster and more efficient settlement for the businesses and people who rely on these flows every day.”

Digital rails are new. Moving money across borders is not. For more than 20 years, Movantis has done the hard part in some of the most complex markets in the Americas: procuring licenses and building the local partnerships, liquidity and last-mile payout that make cross-border payments work. Today, its network moves more than $60 billion a year across more than 200 million transactions and over 90,000 payout locations. The Stellar network now plugs into that foundation.

Beyond El Salvador, Movantis expects the architecture to support additional B2B and consumer flows, including for businesses in Europe, Asia and across Latin America that want to operate in the region through a single integration. The goal is not to replace existing rails, but to add another settlement option to Movantis’s multi-rail infrastructure through Institutional Stablecoin Settlement, which gives companies one integration to collect, convert, settle and pay out across Latin America, in fiat or stablecoin.
