Recommended partner relationship announced to help HCHB hospice customers simplify equipment coordination and reduce administrative burden

DALLAS, Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Homecare Homebase^SM (HCHB) today announced Qualis as a recommended DME partner for hospice providers using the HCHB platform, connecting customers with Qualis’ DME+ solution.

DME+ is designed to simplify equipment ordering, delivery coordination, service management, and billing. HCHB’s expertise in hospice workflows and Qualis’ DME capabilities will work together to help hospice organizations reduce administrative complexity and improve visibility across the equipment process, giving teams more time and focus for patients and families.

Reliable DME plays an important role in supporting patients throughout the hospice care journey. Delayed deliveries can disrupt care plans, while equipment status calls and service coordination can pull nurses and coordinators away from patients. Unpredictable costs can also make budget planning more difficult. By designating Qualis as a recommended DME partner, HCHB is bringing together its deep expertise in hospice workflows with Qualis’ DME capabilities to help customers address equipment-related challenges.

Chief Strategy Officer at LivTech In Home, Rob Stoltz worked with HCHB to form this partnership. “HCHB’s hospice customers deserve a DME partner that actually performs. When we looked at what was causing friction for agencies, unreliable equipment logistics kept coming up. This partnership is about making sure Qualis is the answer they can count on.”

Homecare Homebase Chief Revenue Officer, Hannah Pearson, said: “Hospice teams need technology and partners that make their work easier, not more complicated. By connecting HCHB customers with Qualis’ dedicated DME capabilities, we’re helping simplify an important operational workflow so teams can spend more of their time focused on patients and families.”

Together Qualis and HCHB are working to connect hospice organizations with technology and services that support efficient operations, strong collaboration, and exceptional care.

CEO of LivTech, Mike Scarbrough said: “Bringing best-in-class tools together is central to how LivTech approaches the market. Our partnership with HCHB reflects that and is a sign of how organizations can work together to address challenges that providers face every day.”
