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.
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.
When it comes to DME orders, a lot of variables can impact wait times for providers and their patients. In particular, wait times for doctors’ signatures, the length of time it takes to submit orders for doctors to sign, and time to order acceptance on the supplier side can contribute to massive delays. The Parachute Platform combines the power of fast order submission, speedy eSigning, and quick, reliable order acceptance to achieve best-in-class ordering speeds and consistently clean, complete orders—with most orders on the path to fulfillment in a day or less.
Managing diabetes can be hard, but with timely care, proper tools, and education, it doesn't have to feel that way.

The bottom line is that when orders are placed on the Parachute Platform, patients receive them 85% faster and real-time order status visibility empowers providers to facilitate better care coordination.

March 18 is World Sleep Day, intended to raise awareness about the value of healthy sleep and factors that may stand in its way. Everyone experiences an occasional restless night — and the bleary eyes, fatigue, and head fog, that go along with it. But for as many as 1 in 4 people in the US, it’s a feeling they can’t escape, and chronic poor sleep and the conditions that cause it come with some pretty scary risk factors. Often, conditions like obstructive sleep apnea are to blame, and can be managed at home after a proper diagnosis. The Parachute Platform helps clinicians quickly ePrescribe sleep testing, PAP equipment, and supplies with order transparency and status updates for peace of mind.
