As a self-employed home care nurse, you spend most of your day providing care. But besides being with your patients, there’s also quite a bit of administration involved. Think about care invoicing, Katz scales, appointments, records and communication with health insurance funds. In this blog, we break down exactly which administrative tasks you must keep in order to work smoothly, correctly and professionally.
1. Patient records and care registration
Every patient has their own care file. In it, you keep:
-
Medical information
-
Nursing procedures
-
Treatment plans
-
Observations and evaluations
-
Katz scale scores (for care intensity)
This administration is legally required and crucial for high-quality care. Adminflex helps you keep this information digital and well-organised.

2. Invoicing and billing
Your services must be invoiced and billed correctly, often via software certified by the RIZIV. Think of:
-
Coding daily care activities
-
Billing through health insurance funds
-
Automatically creating and sending care invoices
Adminflex supports you with software and follow-up, so you don’t have to worry about incorrect or late billing.
