CHARLESTON, S.C., May 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Care at Heart
has partnered with Axxess, the leading technology innovator for
healthcare at home, to continue providing the highest-quality care
to individuals and their loved ones living with advanced
illnesses.
Axxess has recently finalized and launched one of the industry's
first palliative care software platforms—an electronic medical
record specialized not only for palliative care itself, but also
for the physicians, nurse practitioners, and other care team
members who use it. The palliative care platform was conceptualized
and built in collaboration with providers across Care at Heart's
service lines, but especially palliative care physicians from
Palliative Care at Heart.
Dr. Sonali Wilborn, MD, MBA,
HMDC, Chief Medical Officer for Care at Heart, said: "It truly has
been a pleasure to work with Axxess. Their commitment to innovation
allowed us to create one of the first ever palliative care
technology platforms and empowered us as providers to execute our
vision from our perspective. They continue to be extremely
responsive with any ongoing changes that might improve the provider
experience."
The Palliative Care at Heart process is fully integrated onto
the new platform. Both organizations have a vision of transforming
the delivery of palliative care services and leveraging technology
to empower all stakeholders to deliver exceptional care while
putting patients and their loved ones first at all times.
The transition has been seamless, and providers have found the
tool to be efficient and user-friendly.
Effective technological innovations like these free up
physicians from antiquated charting processes and allow them to
easily document and access their notes, creating more time for
direct patient care and face-to-face interaction.
Carla Davis, Chief Executive
Officer for Care at Heart, said: "Our partnership with Axxess
supports us in continuing to fulfill our vision. I am humbled to
work alongside John Olajide and his
leadership team to craft provider-friendly technology that enables
the best possible care for our patients and their loved ones."
John Olajide, Founder and Chief
Executive Officer and founder of Axxess, said: "When Care at Heart
approached us for a partnership, I knew it held great promise to
set a new standard for the industry. Carla and her team lead a
world-class organization and as progressive organizations with
complementary goals, together we can lead technological change for
all hospice and palliative care providers."
Ryan Klaustermeier, Vice
President of Innovation for Care at Heart and leader of the
Palliative Care at Heart initiative, added: "Axxess has been a
dedicated partner, with genuine interest in learning our needs,
listening to our feedback, and applying their skills to create a
solution tailored to our organization. Instead of taking an
existing platform and trying to make palliative care work inside of
it, they allowed us to create a solution designed specifically for
palliative care. Because of this, we will improve patient outcomes
by focusing documentation efforts where they matter most, achieving
efficiency and provider satisfaction through a user-friendly
solution focused on the essentials. It has been a pleasure to work
with the Axxess team. It is clear they value our partnership and
are dedicated to helping us achieve our goals."
Care at Heart is planning to transition all its service
lines--Heart of Hospice, Kids at Heart, and Palliative Care at
Heart—to Axxess' technology solutions.
