Transitions of Care 2022
29 December 22    |   Bradley Hunter and Paul Warburton
Inefficient care transitions lead to wasted time and energy, increased risk of human error, and potentially poor experiences for both patients and providers. Despite the industry’s attempts to ensure the right information is sent to the right people at the right time, healthcare organizations must often revert to manual processes for data entry, verification, and communication. Some organizations use or want to use technology to streamline their transitions of care (TOC). This report—KLAS’ first to look at TOC—draws from the perspectives of 95 healthcare leaders across multiple care settings to understand their adoption of care transition technology, the challenges they encounter in their care settings, and the vendors they are considering.

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.

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.
