PointClickCare Strengthens Commitment to Clinical Transparency and Quality Outcomes with COMS Interactive


SAN DIEGO, AMERICAN HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATION (AHCA/NCAL) ANNUAL CONVENTION – PointClickCare Technologies, the leading cloud-based software vendor for the long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) and senior living market, today announced an enhanced commitment to delivering evidence based clinical support tools to help providers prepare effectively for an evolving value-based payment environment including the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM). Together, PointClickCare and COMS deliver a seamless, unified solution that will also significantly improve providers’ capability to demonstrate quality clinical processes, reduce unnecessary re-hospitalizations, and achieve better referral relationships.

With a fast approaching deadline to comply with PDPM requirements, providers today are seeking to leverage meaningful insights, which can be used to assess current resident care needs, resident experiences, and desired outcomes as well as reimbursement changes once PDPM is implemented. PointClickCare is fully committed to ensuring that its platform and solutions are evolving to help customers maintain regulatory compliance and collect payments in a timely manner.

“Almost every provider is evaluating its PDPM preparedness strategy and its overall plan to outperform competition in the face of narrowing networks. The winning strategy will benefit from the adoption of effective technology solutions,” said Brian Buys, RN, director, product management, PointClickCare. “Through the integration of COMS in our clinical product, together with other efforts, we are delivering a single source for standardized, evidence-based content as well as advanced insights and analytics, all of which are critical to PDPM and other value-based payment models.”

COMS has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PointClickCare and will continue to operate as an independent brand to develop, promote, and offer its evidence-based standard clinical protocol tools across multiple electronic health record platforms in the post-acute care market.

“At COMS, we are excited to launch this new chapter for our employees, partners, and customers,” said Bill Stuart, president and chief executive officer, COMS Interactive. “Together with PointClickCare, we are well-positioned to meet the clinical and operational imperatives confronting our customers as the industry transforms from volume to value. As leading vendors, we see the need to evolve from offering data capture to driving insights for better outcomes through fully integrated channels.”
