Parachute Health Releases State of DME ePrescribing Report
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.
'State of DME' highlights the value of DME ePrescribing and similar technology solutions in the context of COVID-19, which has stretched healthcare systems to their limit, expanded reliance on homecare, and underscored the need for overwhelmed providers to spend less time on paperwork and focus their limited bandwidth on patient care.
"Burnout from overwork and inefficient processes combined with new workplace risks and widespread healthcare worker shortages mean that efficiency, productivity, and focus on patient outcomes are more important than ever before to a functioning healthcare system." —The State of DME ePrescribing
With the demands and challenges of the pandemic, "Burnout from overwork and inefficient processes combined with new workplace risks and widespread healthcare worker shortages mean that efficiency, productivity, and focus on patient outcomes are more important than ever before to a functioning healthcare system," notes the report. But when it comes to HME, DME and supplies orders, the technology is often lacking and dated.
Enter Parachute Health. Since 2016, CEO David Gelbard and the Parachute Health team of health systems experts, engineers, and UX designers have been hard at work building and refining an ePrescribing platform that provides end-to-end ordering capabilities including documentation support, eSignatures and approvals, order tracking, real-time digital chat, and more for providers and suppliers.
The value of the Parachute Platform across the DME ecosystem is underscored in the report: Adoption by doctors and clinicians across all care settings continuously grew over 2021 and continues on that trajectory today. ePrescribing grew across all categories with the most notable categories highlighted in the report.
"Parachute Health embarked on a journey to partner with DME suppliers, clinicians, health plans, and other key players in our ecosystem to gain an intimate understanding of their real-world challenges and pain points," Gelbard writes in his introductory message. "We used what we learned to build and refine the only DME ePrescribing technology on the market that completely replaces the need for faxing or paper-based orders."
Indeed, the Parachute Platform is best understood as the result of a years-long collaboration with the people it’s designed for: clinicians, DME suppliers, and other healthcare professionals who regularly order HME, DME, and supplies.
Parachute Health’s online ordering reduces order time to 1-3 minutes per order — and prepares clean, complete orders to send to suppliers right away, with all the information they need to accept them right away.
