Parachute Successfully Adopted by Epic® EHR Users — Since 2017
Clean orders for DME and supplies in as fast as 1 minute (compared to 70+ minutes prior to Parachute), digital communication tools, and order status transparency is what Parachute Health users on Epic® across the US love — much more than eFax! To date, healthcare providers using a Parachute Health integration with Epic® have helped over 230,000 patients get the medical equipment and supplies they need quickly and reliably.

"The case management team doesn't have to think a day ahead!"
— Broc Pollinger, Manager of Patient Support Services at St. Luke's
St. Luke's University Health Network (SLUHN) recently reported significant improvements in discharge workflows after integrating the Parachute Platform. Case managers now quickly generate order-specific paperwork for each patient, avoiding time-consuming re-faxing and phone follow-ups due to missing information. And ordering clinicians sign quickly with multiple eSign options — in an average of 3.1 minutes across the entire health system.
"Sometimes patients were discharged with equipment without insurance verification, so SLUHN had to absorb costs" before integrating Parachute Health, said Broc Pollinger, Manager of Patient Support Services at St. Luke's. "There are no missed signatures now and insurance is confirmed before DME goes out. The case management team doesn't have to think a day ahead!"
ePrescribing is Much More Than eFax
Do you think you have ePrescribing for DME in your EHR?

Integrating the Parachute Platform in your EHR offers:
- Ordering workflow with up-to-date alerts for diagnosis codes and clinical documentation needed to create clean orders suppliers can accept the first time
