CareSimple and MAGNET GROUP Enter Strategic Supplier Relationship

NORTH PALM BEACH, Fla. and MECHANICSBURG, Pa., April 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CareSimple™, the platform simplifying remote patient monitoring (RPM) for virtually all patients, and MAGNET GROUP, one of the oldest and most experienced group purchasing organizations (GPO) in the country, today announced that they have entered into a strategic supplier relationship. Under the terms of the agreement, MAGNET GROUP will make CareSimple the first RPM platform of its specialty medical solutions, which are currently being sold to over 800 hospitals, 700 nursing homes and hundreds of physician practice members predominantly operating in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast markets.

CareSimple is best known for its simplicity, which combined with experience and scalability, was particularly important for MAGNET GROUP as it starts to offer RPM to its 9,000 members. The addition of CareSimple speaks to the importance of RPM for MAGNET GROUP, as adding the solution means will open a new category in its portfolio.

"As one of the longest-tenured GPOs in the country, we are committed to following the evolution of the American healthcare delivery system. As such, MAGNET GROUP is always evaluating new innovative healthcare products and services to add to our growing portfolio of well-known brands," said MAGNET GROUP president Diane Mase. "We've been on the lookout for the ideal remote patient monitoring (RPM) partner for some time, and when CareSimple came on our radar, the combination of simplicity, experience, scalability and great reputation checked all the boxes for our team. We're excited to work together to bring RPM to our membership."

MAGNET GROUP started looking for an RPM vendor several years ago, and like many other healthcare organizations accelerated its selection process with the advent of the COVID-19 public health emergency and the launch of the FCC's telehealth funding program. Having found an RPM solution that matched both the elegance and user-friendliness demanded by its members, the GPO has no plans to actively explore adding other vendors in the space.

"CareSimple is looking forward to our strategic partnership with MAGNET GROUP as it elevates our ability to not only extend the reach of our remote patient monitoring platform to more hospitals, nursing homes and physician practices, but also presents us with even more opportunities to have a substantial impact on the health of the at-risk populations we serve," said Michel Nadeau, CEO of CareSimple. "We look forward to the collaboration and bringing an affordable and uncomplicated solution to the organization's 9,000 plus members that meets all of their remote patient monitoring needs."
