BLOOMINGTON, Minn., June 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MatrixCare ® , the largest long-term, post-acute care (LTPAC) technology provider in the United States and perennial winner of the coveted Best in KLAS award for Long-Term Care software, has been selected as PruittHealth’s enterprise EHR platform partner.

“The PruittHealth team conducted a very thorough, multi-year review of available options and concluded that MatrixCare’s products and strategies were very well-aligned with our goals and objectives and with where we see our industry headed,” explained Neil Pruitt, CEO of PruittHealth. “Their willingness to share risk and reward based on our business performance is very refreshing and creates a true partnership that leverages technology in new ways to better serve our patients and residents. The PruittHealth team is very excited to move forward with MatrixCare as our partner.”
PruittHealth joins the growing list of leading LTPAC providers upgrading to MatrixCare to take advantage of better interoperability, better ease of use, better analytics, better service, better long-term vendor stability, and better outcomes performance.
“The LTPAC industry continues the journey to value-based care, and leading organizations—those employing regionally focused, fully integrated delivery systems like PruittHealth—are increasingly well positioned to assume and manage risk in care delivery,” said John Damgaard, President and CEO of MatrixCare. “PruittHealth is a nationally recognized innovator in long-term health care and has experienced great success under its Commitment to Caring and strong organizational values.
