Why use Episode Connect™?
Launching any episode program without a great software tool usually leads to mounds of paperwork, breakdowns in accountability and communication, and organizational frustration. The absence of a software tool that serves as a central nervous system for all vital functions of episode coordination can leave highly qualified, well intentioned organizations with disappointing patient outcomes and unsustainable results.
Episode Connect™ combines the best of modern technology with deep experience from all sides of the healthcare delivery system. Remedy has built best-in-class enterprise software solutions for both providers and payers for over a decade. Of the tools available in the market, there isn’t a complete solution for managing bundled payment and episodes of care programs. Recognizing the need for this, we created Episode Connect™. We use Episode Connect™ to power all of our programs just as our our partners do. We believe the best software has to be developed by companies who, like the end user, are at risk themselves.
Episode Connect™ differentiates itself from other platforms and tools, because it supports nearly every care improvement effort and a variety of important processes from administration to care coordination. The beauty of Episode Connect™ is that it quickly adapts to existing systems and care delivery preferences while eliminating costly workflow redundancies. We aimed to make quality improvement in the new healthcare environment easy, and our plan is to keep growing as the premiere operating system for all new delivery and payment models.
