In short, faster and easier workflows, and better patient outcomes. 

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 PointClickCare needed to reduce waste, slash paperwork, and improve efficiency and patient care across its network of skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), they knew that modernizing their DME (durable medical equipment) and supplies ordering process was an important part of achieving that goal — and Parachute Health was ready to help.

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.

Complete documentation for DME orders is critical for getting needed equipment and supplies to patients through their health benefits, but putting together all the required information is difficult. Parachute Health has spent six years listening to the most qualified experts we could find: the providers and suppliers who know healthcare inside out and are sick and tired of endless paperwork and long delays that block patients' access to care. We’ve also looked closely at payer requirements across Medicare, Medicaid, and private health plans. We built the Parachute Platform with all these needs and requirements in mind to address documentation pain points, so that clean and complete orders are submitted every time, with all the information needed to fill them.

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.
