The Parachute Health Blog

Parachute Health is honored to be named to the Digital Health 100 list, for the second year in a row! 

Parachute Health has released the second annual State of DME ePrescribing report that showcases an accelerating transition of the durable medical equipment (DME) industry to ePrescribing. In addition to rapid adoption of DME ePrescribing, data trends highlight opportunities for optimizing patient care and growth for healthcare facilities, clinicians, DME suppliers and manufacturers, health plans, and payviders in 2023 and beyond. 

As the world adapts to a new normal, we at Parachute Health have had amazing opportunities to connect more with our users, partners and each other! 

When a home health worker requested a clinician signature by fax to connect a patient to vital oxygen therapy, the signature was stalled for days and the patient was left waiting for almost a week. A switch to eSigning on the Parachute Platform got the order unblocked and the patient on track to receive vital care in less than 2 hours. No patient should be left gasping for air because a piece of paper doesn’t get where it’s supposed to go. Parachute Health’s ePrescribing can help eliminate HME / DME order confusion, encourage visibility and accountability, and stop delays before they start.

Clinicians are looking for more efficient ways to get needed equipment and supplies to their patients without losing time to excessive paperwork. Parachute Health was built with input from many healthcare providers and suppliers active in the DME ecosystem. We listen to and test with a range of end users at every step of the development process. The result is a product that accommodates many diverse ePrescribing and eSigning workflows that over 50,000 referral facilities have come to rely on.

Parachute Health, the industry-standard DME platform offering the full range of online DME order options, has released a new report titled 'The State of DME ePrescribing'. The report discusses the rapid adoption of DME ePrescribing, platform data trends, and opportunities and growth areas for health plans, clinicians, DME suppliers, and other healthcare professionals in 2022 and beyond.

Parachute Health is proud to be named among the 2022 NYC Digital Health 100. The list is released annually to recognize "the most innovative and exciting health startups in the New York area" by NYC Health Business Leaders, a network of senior professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders active in New York’s healthcare ecosystem.

Parachute Health, the leading DME platform offering the full range of online DME order options, has joined AAHomecare as its newest Diamond Partner, the partners reported in a press release Monday. “We’re gratified to see another highly regarded company step up their support for high-impact DME public policy efforts at a critical time for this industry,” said Tom Ryan, AAHomecare president and CEO, about the decision.

2021 was an intense year for the world, the nation, and at Parachute Health. We observed with great concern as our clinician and facility partners navigated the COVID-19 pandemic on the front lines, struggling with burnout and a seemingly endless stream of complex patient needs. We felt a new urgency in our drive to improve healthcare, yet also faced deeply personal challenges as we dealt with the pandemic’s impacts on virtually every aspect of our lives.
