WellSky, a leading health and community care technology company, announced a new partnership with VITAS Healthcare. VITAS will leverage WellSky technology to streamline its operations, allowing clinicians to focus on high-quality patient care delivery. The two organizations also will collaborate to advance innovations within the WellSky Hospice & Palliative solution and to accelerate VITAS’ efforts to scale into new markets.
Fueled by a drive for innovation, this partnership will support VITAS in its efforts to serve even more patients in need of compassionate, high-quality end-of-life care. This transition to WellSky’s electronic health record (EHR) technology will eliminate the need for paper-based documentation and will help to improve operational efficiency for the organization.
“In selecting a technology partner, it was critical to find an organization that could help enable improved workflow and clinical coordination while streamlining burdensome administrative tasks for our team members,” said Nick Westfall, president and CEO at VITAS. “Achieving this goal will allow our clinicians more time at the bedside fulfilling their mission of delivering the highest quality of care for both our patients and their families. We are thrilled to have found that partner in WellSky and are confident that WellSky’s purpose-built technology will be a critical component in our effort to expand and evolve hospice care.”
The partnership between WellSky and VITAS will allow both organizations to serve a pivotal role in the advancement of hospice and palliative technology to deliver smarter, more connected and more data-driven care to communities in need.
