ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Brightree®, the leading provider of cloud-based clinical, billing and business management software solutions for the post-acute care industry, announced today that Merida Health Care Group (Merida) has selected Brightree’s electronic health record (EHR) solution for its home health and hospice lines of business. The solution will enable Merida to obtain a unified view of their business operations, streamline and improve clinical documentation processes with increased functionality and maximize reimbursements. Additionally, Merida currently uses Brightree’s market-leading HME solution.
“Prior to Brightree, we tried several different solutions for home health and hospice that basically just digitized our paperwork,” said Henry McInnis, corporate administrator at Merida Health Care Group. “These solutions lacked the depth of functionality for compliance checks and balances, and it was extremely difficult to obtain a high-level view across our service lines. With Brightree, we found a proven, scalable, single-vendor solution for our home health, hospice and home medical equipment (HME) services.”
“The addition of Brightree’s Home Health and Hospice solutions will allow us to stay in compliance without sacrificing clinician ease-of-use, improve patient outcomes and provide us with operational visibility across the business,” added McInnis.
Brightree Home Health and Brightree Hospice provides agencies with a cloud-based back-office system and a native iPad® application that makes documenting at the point-of-care a natural part of patient care. With CareTouch Logic™, Brightree’s underlying intelligence, clinicians are intelligently guided through assessments and workflows to keep agencies compliant with clinical best practices. The solution enables agencies to reduce compliance risk, improve patient care, increase operational efficiencies and optimize billing.
“We’re excited to partner with Merida and provide a complete solution that will enable them to improve outcomes, increase efficiencies and serve the needs of their rapidly growing patient-base across multiple care settings,” said Lori Jones, executive vice president and general manager, home health, hospice and private duty at Brightree.
Merida has grown 30-40 percent yearly over the past six years and has now expanded to ten locations. “We are extremely pleased with the positive reaction of the clinicians and are confident it will streamline and transform the way they document at the point-of-care,” added Jones.
