OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Jan. 23, 2024 —  Netsmart, a leading healthcare technology provider, has announced a strategic collaboration with NorthStar Care Community (NorthStar) and its esteemed member, Hospice of Michigan (HOM), to support the mission of continually improving end-of-life care. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the standard of post-acute care, leveraging the powerful combination of innovative technology and best practices to advance value-based care delivery.

"When we first started down the path with Netsmart, we developed a pioneering spirit to start leveraging technology at the bedside, expanding services and thereby enhancing the quality of care and communication with patients and families," said NorthStar Care Community President and CEO Patrick Miller. "When the community comes to us with an unmet need, technology is often part of the solution. Leveraging our expertise in both technology and care delivery, we strive to innovate and set a standard that can assist other organizations in advancing their end-of-life care.”

HOM has been a longstanding Netsmart client for more than 20 years and is expanding this successful relationship to Northstar. This strategic collaboration aims to unite industry leaders leveraging a variety of solutions and services of the CareFabric® platform including myUnity®, an ONC-certified electronic health record (EHR) for hospice, home care and palliative care. The myUnity solution unifies care settings into a single patient record and integrates the capabilities needed to support value-based payment models into a single platform.
