Clients of American HealthTech Gain the
Opportunity to Extend the Value of Their Data With COMS Disease
Management Solutions Today – With More Solutions On the Way
American HealthTech (AHT), a wholly owned subsidiary of CPSI
(NASDAQ: CPSI) and a leading provider of electronic health records
(EHR) for the post-acute and senior living markets, and COMS
Interactive are pleased to announce that their integration strategy
– a new AHT/COMS workflow designed to make the COMS disease
management solution available to users within the AHT clinical
workflow – is already showing value within their mutual client
base.

Grace Healthcare, a privately owned healthcare organization that
owns and manages skilled nursing, assisted living, and
rehabilitation facilities across the U.S., is one such provider
using the combined power of AHT and COMS throughout its enterprise.
Grace Healthcare is also a Key Development Partner with AHT and is
working closely with both AHT and COMS to market test the solution
ahead of broader commercial release.
“We used AHT and COMS independently in the past; but with this
new, stronger integration, our nurses can now go seamlessly from
one part to the other and get all of the information they need from
the electronic medical record, a critical advantage for our
clinicians,” said Caroline Murphy, director of clinical informatics
at Grace Healthcare. “All of the information that the nurses can
see in one click – in one location – instead of having to dig for
it, is significant. The two organizations have unique areas of
expertise, but they collaborated in a meaningful way to truly solve
the issues that our clinical team are dealing with at the
bedside.”
“Today’s executives, like those at Grace Healthcare, need to be
more than just informed about patient outcomes; they need to unlock
real value from their data so they can meet the triple aim of
healthcare reform and remain competitive with new payers,” said
Teresa Chase, president of AHT. “With an outstanding track record
of working with providers on innovative solutions for disease
management, we’re delighted that our tighter integration with COMS
is already bearing fruit for provider clients like Grace
Healthcare.”
While gathering data is simple, analyzing it is challenging and
leveraging it can be very challenging. “Smart decisions are
data-driven decisions and a hallmark of great leadership,” said Jim
Riemenschneider, co-founder and chief revenue officer of COMS.
“When you layer COMS’ solutions with the power of American
HealthTech, skilled nursing providers can better drive their
business using real-time facts to operationalize evidence-based
protocols, enabling real-time quality improvement across their
enterprise.”
Murphy added, “Prior to using this combined solution, our nurses
were having trouble getting concise documentation to reflect the
care they provide for our patients. Today, AHT and COMS guide the
nurses so they’re on-topic and bedside documentation is clearer and
more accurate, providing them with more time to take care of our
patients. The bottom line is that this tighter integration helps
the nurses focus and provide better care, to enable better
interventions and achieve better outcomes for our patients. This is
a triple-win for our patients, our clinicians and our facility as a
whole.”
