Prestigious MedTech Breakthrough Award Recognizes WellSky’s Innovative Referral Management Solution
OVERLAND PARK, Kan.–WellSky, a global health and community care technology and services company, has been named “Best Home Health Care Solution” in the ninth annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program. This marks the sixth consecutive year WellSky has received this honor.
The WellSky Enterprise Referral Manager solution revolutionizes referral, intake, and customer relationship management for home health, hospice, and other home-based care agencies. By consolidating inbound referrals from nearly 2,000 hospitals using WellSky CarePort solutions, e-Fax, and direct secure messaging into a single dashboard, the solution streamlines referral activity management.
The solution surfaces critical information needed to evaluate referrals, including payer and insurance details, services requested, discharge date, and ZIP code. This enables intake staff to make quicker decisions and respond to referrals faster directly within their workflow.
“Home health and hospice agencies depend on referrals for growth, but managing these referrals is complicated due to scattered data,” said Steve Johansson, managing director at MedTech Breakthrough. “WellSky Enterprise Referral Manager transforms referral and intake processes, enabling efficient, effective, and sustainable growth.”
Key features of the solution include:
- Centralized referral activity management
- Support for referral task creation and assignment across roles
- Integration with WellSky electronic health record (EHR) to eliminate workflow bottlenecks and prevent duplicate records
“An agency’s ability to quickly respond to referrals is critical to operations, affecting staffing, growth, and care delivery quality,” said Bill Miller, chairman and CEO at WellSky. “Our solution improves the entire referral process with a centralized view and integrated referral data.”
The MedTech Breakthrough Awards celebrate excellence in the health and medical technology industry, recognizing companies driving meaningful progress and improving patient care. This year, the program received over 4,500 nominations from leading companies and startups across more than 18 countries.
