On January 6, PointClickCare, a leader in cloud-based healthcare software for the long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) market, announced a partnership with Sound Physicians to offer a fully integrated virtual health solution to LTPAC healthcare providers based in the United States.
Founded in 1995, PointClickCare is the leading healthcare technology platform enabling meaningful collaboration and access to real‐time insights at any stage of a patient’s healthcare journey. PointClickCare’s single platform spans the care continuum, fostering proactive, holistic decision‐making and improved outcomes for all. Over 21,000 long‐term, acute and post‐acute care providers and over 1,300 hospitals use PointClickCare today.
Sound Physicians is a leading national physician partner to hospitals, health plans, physician groups and post-acute providers seeking to transform outcomes for acute episodes of care. Sound Physicians brings with it over two decades of high‐performing and affordable care models built on physician leadership, clinical process, technology and analytics to the partnership. With over 500 hospital‐based programs in 42 states, their value‐based models have improved clinical outcomes and lowered overall episode costs. They are the only nationally-scaled physician group currently providing telemedicine to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), and their post‐acute programs have reduced hospital readmissions by 30%.
“We have proven that telemedicine transforms care delivery and improves clinical and financial outcomes for post‐acute providers. By fully integrating access to our physicians into the existing PointClickCare workflows, we are confident that these benefits will grow exponentially. This partnership aligns with Sound Physician’s mission to improve quality, satisfaction, and financial performance in healthcare delivery,” said Brendan McNamara, CEO of Telemedicine at Sound Physicians
This partnership will deliver on the promise and full potential of virtual health in the post-acute setting. This joint solution has been specifically designed to meet the mission‐critical needs of post‐acute providers to improve clinical care. The collaboration is expected to lead the industry in improving outcomes with streamlined access to engaged physician support.
