Netsmart and Hospice of the Chesapeake, a premier provider of
hospice and palliative care services in Maryland, announce an
advanced collaboration through the successful implementation of the
myUnity® electronic health record (EHR) system. This move
underscores Hospice of the Chesapeake's commitment to enhancing
patient care, supporting organizational growth and embracing
value-based care models.
Recognizing the need for an ONC-certified EHR solution, Hospice
of the Chesapeake selected and is successfully leveraging myUnity
to help enable the organization to succeed in the evolving
value-based care programs. With myUnity, Netsmart can further
support Hospice of the Chesapeake’s growth strategy through
enhanced capabilities to drive efficiencies and optimize care
delivery.
"Selecting myUnity fulfilled a strategic necessity for us," said
Hospice of the Chesapeake CEO Rebecca Miller. "We needed a platform
that could not only support our current infrastructure but also
grow with us as we expand our services. It was crucial to invest in
a platform that allows us to prioritize face time with our patients
and families, rather than being bogged down by technical
complexities."
Post-implementation, clinical staff at Hospice of the Chesapeake
have achieved transformative milestones, including streamlined care
processes and enhanced patient experience. The integration of
myUnity has empowered clinicians with more cohesive and efficient
care coordination, supporting efforts for increased face time with
patients and families, while targeting administrative burdens.
Annually serving over 4,000 individuals, Hospice of Chesapeake
stands at the forefront of hospice care delivery in the country.
Leveraging myUnity's robust functionalities, the organization is
poised to further elevate its service offerings and expand its
footprint within the post-acute care continuum. As the organization
continues to evolve, Netsmart remains a steadfast collaborator,
committed to driving innovation and supporting Hospice of the
Chesapeake's long-term growth objectives.
"By actively responding to community needs as well as leveraging
cutting-edge resources and technology, Hospice of the Chesapeake
has positioned their clinicians and staff for excellence,” said
Dawn Iddings, SVP & Managing Director of Post-Acute, Netsmart.
“As a longstanding client, our collaboration has continued to
deliver positive outcomes and we're thrilled to further enhance
their organization with an innovative platform, keeping them ahead
in value-based care."
