New capabilities help care teams quickly understand the full patient story, reduce bottlenecks, and take more proactive action beyond discharge.
OVERLAND PARK, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–WellSky, a leading health and community care technology and services company, today announced CareBrief and Patient Visibility Pro, two new capabilities within WellSky CarePort® care transition solutions to help hospitals and health systems navigate one of healthcare’s ongoing challenges: making timely, informed decisions while maintaining continuity of care beyond discharge.
As patients’ needs become more complex and care journeys extend beyond the hospital, care teams are often challenged by fragmented clinical information and limited insight into what happens after the patient leaves the hospital. Part of the WellSky CarePort Transition and WellSky CarePort Care Management solutions, the CareBrief and Patient Visibility Pro tools address these challenges by helping organizations quickly understand the full patient story, build a comprehensive view of each patient, coordinate next steps with greater confidence, and maintain visibility throughout the entire episode.
CareBrief uses AI-powered clinical summarization to transform fragmented patient information into structured, easy-to-review summaries directly within care transition workflows. Care teams then review and validate AI-generated summaries as part of their clinical decision-making. By bringing together relevant patient information from outside a hospitals EHR — across care settings and sources available through the WellSky network — CareBrief helps care teams establish a more complete picture of the patient, by identifying clinical, support, and social needs that inform discharge planning and help determine the next level of care.
Patient Visibility Pro extends visibility of patient utilization beyond the point of discharge through a longitudinal patient timeline, curated worklists, and follow-up task assignments. By combining patient history with prioritization capabilities, Patient Visibility Pro helps care teams quickly identify higher-risk transitions, focus attention where it’s needed most, and take more proactive action throughout the patient’s recovery process.
“Healthcare organizations don’t need more data. They need data translated into meaningful context and visibility that help teams act with confidence,” said Bill Miller, chairman and CEO of WellSky. “Technology should help care teams spend less time searching for information and more time supporting patients. By reducing complexity and improving decision-making, we can help providers create more connected, efficient care experiences.”
Both capabilities are enhanced by the WellSky network that connects more than 2,000 hospitals and 120,000 post-acute and community providers, enabling care teams to leverage patient information generated throughout the broader care continuum rather than relying solely on what is available within a single EHR. For case managers and discharge planners, the result is a more holistic and streamlined experience.
