AlayaCare award recognizes health care companies leading the way in technology adoption to improve the delivery of home health care

Elara Caring, one of the nation’s leading providers of home-based health care, has been honored with a Better Outcomes Early Adopter Award from the cloud-based home care software platform AlayaCare. The award recognizes AlayaCare customers that are leading the industry in adopting new standards and are driving change within home health.

Elara Caring was nominated for the award following the company’s request to collaborate with AlayaCare on an initiative to capture and analyze patient/client information in aggregate as a means of identifying risk factors for emergency department visits, and ultimately preventing them with proactive interventions or referrals.

“Technology innovations continue to present tremendous opportunities to dramatically improve healthcare delivery and the overall patient experience,” said Chris Mate, Chief Information Officer for Elara Caring. “We are very pleased with our partnership with AlayaCare and excited to be recognized for this award as we innovate to change how healthcare is delivered in the home.”

Elara Caring accepted the Better Outcomes Early Adopter Award at the AlayaCare Better Outcomes conference, which took place October 25-27 at Niagara Falls, Ontario in Canada. The event took place the same week in which Elara Caring added hospice care to its offerings in the Greater Chicago area as part of a De Novo or “from the ground up” expansion, exemplifying the organization’s commitment to mission-driven growth.
