ADDISON, Texas, Oct. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Curantis Solutions, LLC, the software solutions company focused exclusively on serving the hospice and palliative care sector, announces the imminent release of its palliative care solution to the industry and is engaged in discussions with prospective clients.

Like Curantis' hospice care solution, now in use across several US markets, its palliative care solution is an innovative and integrated cloud-based management software solution, designed by caregivers for caregivers. It supports the entire palliative care process from initial referral forward, providing caregivers with a single look and feel no matter where or how they work – on smartphone, tablet, or desktop. Should the patient transition to hospice care, Curantis' hospice solution retains all patient demographic information, significantly reducing data input requirements.

John Carreker, Curantis Chief Executive Officer, said, "Because palliative care typically involves many high-cost services, documentation of patient needs and care, it is paramount for the care team to monitor the patient's condition. Our solution facilitates this complex process for ease of use by the entire care team and enables them to capture and manage key analytics."

As a result, the patient can receive better care at home and avoid unnecessary use of high-cost hospital and emergency room services enabling the palliative care providers to deliver the best care while stewarding valuable resources.

Curantis Chief Nursing and Product Officer Denise Stamos, RN, MSN, observed, "The palliative care industry faces numerous challenges. The supply of palliative care falls far short of the need, leaving too many sufferers without access; our solution makes delivery of palliative care timely, efficient, and cost-effective. Also, the industry is deficient in relevant quality care measures as indicated by the recent announcement that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) are investing $5.5 million in developing better measures. Our solution's analytics component will be essential for measuring and reporting quality performance indicators."

Debi Newton, Curantis Chief Sales Officer and Head of Business Development, noted, "Because palliative care is one of the fastest growing services in healthcare, its providers need a purposebuilt solution, not one re-architected to loosely fit palliative care needs."

Just as Curantis' hospice solution was designed specifically for hospice, the palliative care solution is designed exclusively for palliative care, easing the burden on caregivers.
