CLEVELAND, April 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- COMS Interactive, LLC (also known as Clinical Outcomes Management Systems or COMS) has partnered with PointClickCare, the leading cloud-based software platform for senior care, to better leverage the two organizations' collective strengths and resources. The companies will work together to offer a more comprehensive product set for current and future customers by combining the power of the COMS Daylight IQ™ disease management product suite and PointClickCare products and services.

COMS focuses on raising overall clinical and financial outcomes in the long-term care marketplace, including Skilled Nursing Facilities, Assisted Living Facilities, and Home Care. The company's flagship product, Daylight IQ™, a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, features a series of integrated, disease-based library of clinical protocols that significantly empower the entire nursing team at the point of care, while improving communication between all parties. Deploying Daylight IQ™ reduces 30-day hospital readmissions by up to 50% and premature mortality by more than 60%.

"As both PointClickCare and COMS Interactive focus on improving quality of care and financial performance in the senior care marketplace, a partnership between our two organizations presents a unique opportunity," commented Mike Wessinger, Chief Executive Officer, PointClickCare. "We're pleased to be working with the COMS team to offer our customers additional solution options for addressing the critical challenge of reducing preventable hospital readmissions."

PointClickCare offers cloud-based, regulatory compliant solutions for the senior care market, supported by a core Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) platform. PointClickCare solutions are designed to help healthcare providers meet the global challenges of senior care by enabling them to improve quality of care, enhance financial and operational performance, and mitigate risk.

Market research indicates that the average nursing facility or assisted living resident has a complicated disease profile, with one primary disease and up to eight secondary diseases or afflictions. Over 70% of re-hospitalizations are due to the worsening of secondary or new diseases. By providing early detection of changes in condition, Daylight IQ™ highlights potential problems and offers caregivers the opportunity to respond, preventing further progression of the illness.
