Senior Living Providers Already Seeing Value from American HealthTech and COMS Interactive Stronger Integration Partnership

Clients of American HealthTech Gain the Opportunity to Extend the Value of Their Data With COMS Disease Management Solutions Today – With More Solutions On the Way

JACKSON, MISS.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- American HealthTech (AHT), a wholly owned subsidiary of CPSI (NASDAQ: CPSI) and a leading provider of electronic health records (EHR) for the post-acute and senior living markets, and COMS Interactive are pleased to announce that their integration strategy – a new AHT/COMS workflow designed to make the COMS disease management solution available to users within the AHT clinical workflow – is already showing value within their mutual client base.

Grace Healthcare, a privately owned healthcare organization that owns and manages skilled nursing, assisted living, and rehabilitation facilities across the U.S., is one such provider using the combined power of AHT and COMS throughout its enterprise. Grace Healthcare is also a Key Development Partner with AHT and is working closely with both AHT and COMS to market test the solution ahead of broader commercial release.

“We used AHT and COMS independently in the past; but with this new, stronger integration, our nurses can now go seamlessly from one part to the other and get all of the information they need from the electronic medical record, a critical advantage for our clinicians,” said Caroline Murphy, director of clinical informatics at Grace Healthcare. “All of the information that the nurses can see in one click – in one location – instead of having to dig for it, is significant. The two organizations have unique areas of expertise, but they collaborated in a meaningful way to truly solve the issues that our clinical team are dealing with at the bedside.”

“Today’s executives, like those at Grace Healthcare, need to be more than just informed about patient outcomes; they need to unlock real value from their data so they can meet the triple aim of healthcare reform and remain competitive with new payers,” said Teresa Chase, president of AHT. “With an outstanding track record of working with providers on innovative solutions for disease management, we’re delighted that our tighter integration with COMS is already bearing fruit for provider clients like Grace Healthcare.”

While gathering data is simple, analyzing it is challenging and leveraging it can be very challenging. “Smart decisions are data-driven decisions and a hallmark of great leadership,” said Jim Riemenschneider, co-founder and chief revenue officer of COMS. “When you layer COMS’ solutions with the power of American HealthTech, skilled nursing providers can better drive their business using real-time facts to operationalize evidence-based protocols, enabling real-time quality improvement across their enterprise.”

Murphy added, “Prior to using this combined solution, our nurses were having trouble getting concise documentation to reflect the care they provide for our patients. Today, AHT and COMS guide the nurses so they’re on-topic and bedside documentation is clearer and more accurate, providing them with more time to take care of our patients. The bottom line is that this tighter integration helps the nurses focus and provide better care, to enable better interventions and achieve better outcomes for our patients. This is a triple-win for our patients, our clinicians and our facility as a whole.”
