“Because Brightree specializes in post-acute care and places a heavy emphasis on interoperability, our team is eager to demonstrate to the attendees how interoperability improves treatment and drives success for both patients and medical care providers,” said Nick Knowlton, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives of Brightree. “Interoperability is all about turning a patient’s experience into a smooth, seamless transition of care helping to improve referral sources and most importantly, patient outcomes.” 

To better educate home health and hospice providers on the importance of interoperable technology, Brightree’s upcoming panel, “Patient-Centric Interoperability: A Post-Acute Perspective,” will examine how agencies are currently implementing growth strategies and leveraging interoperability to improve agency efficiencies and patient care coordination. Through an expert panel of providers and industry leaders, the audience will learn strategies to support alignment with referral sources. They will also learn how interoperability can help acquire and retain patients, as well as what tools to help prepare for future government interoperability mandates.
