Hospice company Vitas Healthcare has selected US-based WellSky’s electronic health record (EHR) technology to streamline its operations, enabling clinicians to focus on providing high-quality patient care.
In addition, the two companies will work together to advance innovations in the WellSky Hospice & Palliative solution and to boost Vitas’ attempts to expand into new markets.
For more than four decades, Vitas has provided innovative, patient-centred hospice and palliative care nationwide.
The firm runs 50 hospice programmes in 14 states and the District of Columbia, serving more than 17,000 patients daily.
This collaboration, motivated by an ambition for innovation, will help Vitas assist even more patients needing sensitive, end-of-life care.
This upgrade to WellSky’s EHR technology will eliminate the requirement for paper-based documentation and assist the organisation in increasing operational efficiency.
