How does ePrescribing DME on Parachute benefit case managers?
In short, faster and easier workflows, and better patient outcomes.
Case managers are the unsung heroes of the healthcare system, tirelessly working to ensure seamless care transitions and optimal patient outcomes. However, as more healthcare has been moving to the home setting in recent years, demands on case managers have increased dramatically, leaving many overworked and stretched thin. Staffing shortages exacerbate these challenges, further impacting their ability to provide comprehensive and efficient care.
Medical equipment, supplies and services are critical to many patients’ transition of care. A recent Becker’s Healthcare survey showed that it takes a day or more to gather documentation for DME orders. Is that the case for you?
ePrescribing DME and supplies on the Parachute Health platform is a tried-and-tested solution to minimize paperwork and save time for direct patient care, with over 370,000 clinicians who love digital ordering from their favorite suppliers. Orders in minutes with transparency into ordering requirements and no re-work needed, modern digital chat with suppliers, and order status updates. The full HIPAA-compliant online platform is free for clinicians to sign up and use!
Place just one or two patient orders today to see what a difference ePrescribing can make in your workday, and how much faster patients will receive the medical equipment and supplies they need.

By simplifying workflows and eliminating unnecessary complexities, Parachute Health empowers case managers to devote their time and energy toward essential patient care, while also mitigating the impact of staffing shortages on overall productivity.
A case manager’s experience
A Case Manager's Experience
“Because each piece of DME requires so much specific documentation, we needed to remember specific criteria or keep complicated files with decision trees about what needed to be documented and when. Sometimes those decision trees became outdated.
Now we just answer each one of the Parachute questions... We know right away if the documentation supports medical necessity. If they do not, we can work with the provider to understand the medical necessity and provide supporting documentation. Even if there are more upfront questions, it’s so much better to be asked that while ordering than a few hours or a few weeks after placing the order!

Improving Patient Throughput and Preventing Delays
ePrescribing on Parachute Health introduces a level of transparency not possible with faxing and EHR-based eFax solutions. An order completed on the Parachute Platform is automatically checked at every step, so the finished signed order is clean and complete — ready to accept and fill by the supplier right away. Patients receive the DME and supplies they need quickly and reliably.
Plus, visibility into order status enhances operational efficiency, and eliminates phone follow-ups. The dashboard for all DME orders on the Parachute Platform allows case managers to coordinate patient care transitions more effectively, increasing patient throughput at bed-constrained hospitals, reducing discharge delays, and preventing unnecessary readmissions if DME does not arrive on time.
