Even across health systems with robust EMR investment, ordering home medical equipment for patients continues to be a paper-based process, leading to delayed discharges, documentation burden for clinicians, and sub-optimal outcomes for patients. Adoption of DME ePrescribing empowers providers with simple workflows, transparency into health plan requirements, and reliable delivery. But how should you begin this digital transformation at your health system?

Now that Elaine is using the Parachute Platform for arranging DME and home health services, she has saved significant time with increased ordering speed and clear visibility into order status and acceptance.

HMP (Home Medical Products) adopted Parachute Health over 2 years ago because their sales reps were struggling to get clean orders to operations, who then could not get orders to patients on time without the paperwork. They tried Parachute Health, and have not looked back! HMP teams are now three times more productive, and can grow business volume with excellent customer service and fast turnaround times. Read on for all the benefits they’ve seen by adopting Parachute Health. 

The phone is blinking with a supplier on hold. It’s common to check in regarding the process of your patients' DME orders; only this time you found out the order is on hold based on a missing clinician signature.

Keeping up with the evolving rules for DME ordering from different patient health plans and for different suppliers is a daunting task. And it takes time away from the reason most clinicians chose their career path — helping patients! What’s even worse, not keeping up with the rules leads to errors and inefficiencies, potentially causing delays and discouraging outcomes for patients. Especially when you lose sight of the order after faxing. Read on for a User Story of how ePrescribing on Parachute changes all that. 

Picture this: you approach the antiquated, temperamental fax machine. As you prepare to send a DME order, which has taken the better half of two days to collect the documentation and signatures needed for a complete order, you can already feel the impending disappointment settling in. First, you meticulously feed the paper into the machine, making sure it aligns perfectly. But just as you press the buttons to input the recipient's number, a mechanical screech interrupts. The fax machine has jammed once again, leaving you to wrestle with the stubborn paper that refuses to budge. After what feels like an eternity, you manage to clear the jam and reinsert the document. 

In short, faster and easier workflows, and better patient outcomes.
