ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BMS Practice Solutions and CareConnections today announce their plans of integration between their web-based systems to streamline the process of delivering optimal patient care in a way that is transparent, measurable, and efficient.
Higher quality care at a lower cost - the healthcare industry is quickly moving toward a value-based payment system, which is why this partnership between BMS Practice Solutions and CareConnections is so important. This integration will give rehabilitation providers a powerful platform to document quality patient care in a way that is value-based and outcome-oriented.
BMS Practice Solutions CEO, John Wallace, PT, MS, OCS stated, “The overall goal for our EMR is for it to become a key tool for helping therapists manage their patients. CareConnections’ sophisticated approach to clinical outcomes and the value they deliver in real time patient clinical management will be a key component as healthcare moves towards value-based payment for services. We believe the BMS-CareConnections partnership will add critical value to this process.”
