VITAS® Healthcare Partners With WellSky® to Accelerate Innovation in Hospice & Palliative Care

WellSky, a leading health and community care technology company, announced a new partnership with VITAS Healthcare, the nation’s leading provider of end-of-life care. VITAS will leverage WellSky technology to streamline its operations, allowing clinicians to focus on high-quality patient care delivery. The two organizations also will collaborate to advance innovations within the WellSky Hospice & Palliative solution and to accelerate VITAS’ efforts to scale into new markets.

For over 40 years, VITAS has been a pioneer in the hospice movement, providing innovative, patient-centered hospice and palliative care across the country. The organization operates 50 hospice programs in 14 states and the District of Columbia, serving over 17,000 patients each day and employing 10,000 care professionals.

Fueled by a drive for innovation, this partnership will support VITAS in its efforts to serve even more patients in need of compassionate, high-quality end-of-life care. This transition to WellSky’s electronic health record (EHR) technology will eliminate the need for paper-based documentation and will help to improve operational efficiency for the organization.
