Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Global Conference & Exhibition PointClickCare, the leading cloud-based software vendor for the long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) market, is previewing a new interoperable solution designed to empower hospitals and health systems with the insights required for a truly coordinated and collaborative approach to care delivery. Harmony by PointClickCare, the new solution, will enable acute and post-acute care providers to eliminate data silos between care partners and leverage meaningful insights.

Harmony by PointClickCare

Harmony by PointClickCare connects acute and post-acute care providers on a secure, simplified, and integrated platform. Its features empower hospitals and health systems to more easily:

  • Locate where their patients are, as well as facilitate seamless, integrated transitions to LTPAC settings.
  • Sync with meaningful data exchange between care settings to conveniently monitor their discharges to LTPAC facilities and access up-to-date, detailed patient progress information for efficient decision-making.
  • Visualize LTPAC partner's key performance indicators and metrics through a single glass-pane view, thereby enabling easy evaluation and real-time visibility on patient discharges.

PointClickCare Highlights

PointClickCare is in a leading position to help acute care providers effectively connect with LTPAC providers. According to CMS and PointClickCare system data:

  • In 2017, more than 97 percent of hospitals referred at least one Medicare patient to a facility that uses the PointClickCare platform.
  • From 2012 to 2017, facilities that use the PointClickCare platform saw a growth of 186 percent in their Medicare referrals.

"As a leader in the LTPAC space, PointClickCare is in a unique position to help redefine the transition from acute to post-acute care by ensuring the data is not only effectively exchanged, but also harnessed to deliver vast improvements including facility matching and regional population health efforts."
