What Our Partners Are Saying
Managing members across multiple sites, care settings, and EMR systems present a host of challenges. Care coordination is crucial for those members with a chronic or serious illness as they typically see multiple providers. Even the most skillful care coordinators cannot connect all Advance Care Planning (ACP) documentation across all care settings.
