Home-Based Post–Acute Care 2022
10 November 22    |   Cimone Smith and Paul Hess
The homecare market has surged as healthcare organizations have sought to maintain quality patient care throughout the pandemic and fulfill requirements for value-based reimbursement. Organizations are looking to expand their homecare offerings; however, the pandemic has exacerbated staffing shortages and decreased bandwidth, making operations—let alone growth—difficult. To help organizations understand how peers are approaching the current environment, KLAS interviewed 88 leaders from home-based care organizations regarding the top challenges they face and the technology vendors they use or have considered investing in to address these challenges.

Home Health 2022
27 October 22    |   Paul Hess and Paul Warburton
The home health market has seen renewed energy since 2020 as COVID-19 and efforts to improve outcomes and decrease costs have shifted more care to the home. As a result, the number of home health agencies has grown. Amid this growth, home health agencies continue to face complex billing and a limited labor market. They want to make the right EMR investments and fully leverage those investments in ways that improve operational efficiency and interoperability, minimize the need for other IT purchases, and keep clinicians happy (thereby mitigating turnover). This report looks at which home health vendors best drive clinician satisfaction. A similar report for hospice is planned for 2023.

Post–Acute Care EMR Product Suites 2022
30 August 22    |   Paul Hess and Paul Warburton
Most providers in post–acute care settings want technology built for their specific area, but they face challenges with interoperability, analytics, value-based reimbursements, and care coordination. Increasingly, organizations are looking for vendors that can meet all their post–acute care needs. Several vendors are answering the call, despite the highly varied, unique challenges associated with each care setting. This report examines what solutions are offered, how they are being adopted, and how well they meet setting-specific functionality needs (particularly for home health and LTC/SNF). The report mainly focuses on vendors specific to post–acute care but also provides a brief look at the post–acute care solutions of enterprise acute care EMR vendors.

Post-Acute Care 2020

Every health system knows that their long-term success hinges on what happens in the post–acute care and behavioral health settings. As a result, this report examines customer satisfaction with the technology vendors available in these areas and explores which offer the broad, comprehensive portfolios many healthcare organizations seek. Future reports will validate which vendors are being used in an enterprise fashion and how solutions are being used to enable referral management and care transitions.
