Corporate Profile
Your Leader In Outpatient Tracking
From Order to Discharge... and Everything in Between
It’s not just day-of-service. From order to discharge, efficiently and effectively managed orders can be the difference between providers and patients utilizing your facility for their outpatient service needs, or risk losing them to another facility.
Where We Started and Why It Matters
We started with humble beginnings, providing basic Order Management and Outpatient Tracking to hospitals and healthcare organizations. Through continual innovation, listening to our customers and proactively anticipating market needs, we have grown our portfolio to provide comprehensive and robust end-to-end Outpatient Tracking.
Most importantly, throughout our growth and expansion, a top priority has been, and continues to be, operating with small-business familiarity and trusted relationships, while offering products and services for everyone - from smaller clinics and physician offices, to high volume acute care centers, and large healthcare systems.
The PatientPath™ Portfolio
Patient Experience
More than just a buzzword in today’s healthcare environment
Patients have become consumers and are taking ownership of the efficiencies and effectiveness of their care. And, if patients and their providers don’t have a superior experience, they will not just take their ‘business’ to another healthcare facility the next time - they conceivably will communicate that dissatisfaction across multiple mediums.
Today’s patient and provider experience extends to both short and long-term customer loyalty, e.g., revenue leakage – losing patients and provider referrals from your facility to another. This is where, and why, PatientPath offers a step up from other trackers.
