HIPAA Healthcare Developer: Build Custom Home Care Operations Platform (Multi-Phase)

We're a growing home care agency in Colorado serving Medicaid clients, with about 900 caregivers and 500+ clients. Our team works across several systems (AxisCare, KanTime, Frisco and LearnWorlds), and a lot of office time goes to manual work: reading care notes, chasing missing documents, onboarding caregivers, and pulling reports by hand. We want to build our own platform, LiliSphere, so our processes are built around efficiency instead of around software limits. WHAT WE'RE BUILDING We already have a clickable prototype of the screens and workflows. You'd turn it into a real, secure web app. Phase 1 (this contract, about 3-5 months): - Secure web app with logins, user roles and audit logging, on HIPAA-eligible cloud hosting - AxisCare API integration (clients, caregivers, applicants, visits, care notes) - AI care-note audit using the Claude API, with flagged notes sent to each Caregiver Administrator - Caregiver onboarding workflows with e-signature and automatic reminders - Automated emails for expiring documents, training due and note corrections - Client profitability reports and a daily work-queue dashboard - LearnWorlds training sync and KanTime report imports Later phases, for the same team if Phase 1 goes well: - Phase 2: client and caregiver records, documents and charting live in LiliSphere - Phase 3: caregiver mobile app, Colorado electronic visit verification (EVV) interface, Medicaid billing WHAT WE EXPECT - Real experience building HIPAA-compliant healthcare software. Please share examples. - You sign our Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and an NDA before starting - Development uses fake data only. No access to real client data. - All code lives in our company GitHub account, and we own 100% of the work - Milestone-based payments, with a working demo at each milestone - Weekly check-ins, and at least 3 hours of overlap with US Mountain Time WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN A WORK RELATIONSHIP We want a long-term partner, not a one-time build. The owners are directly involved and make decisions quickly. We know our processes well and will be clear about what we need. In return, we want someone who asks questions, pushes back when something won't work, and tells us early when there's a problem. Agencies with backup developers are welcome. Continuity matters to us. WHAT MAKES THIS PROJECT UNIQUE This is software that helps caregivers spend less time on paperwork and more time with the people they serve: kids and adults with disabilities and seniors living at home. You'll be building something used every day by hundreds of people. TO APPLY, PLEASE ANSWER: 1) Describe a HIPAA-compliant project you built. What did you do for encryption, access control and audit logs? 2) Will you sign a BAA? Are you solo or an agency? Who covers if you leave? 3) What tech stack would you use, and why? 4) Rough hours and cost estimate for Phase 1.
