According to a partnership agreement announced by both companies, Casamba plans to integrate the Kno2 document exchange platform into its technology solutions Smart EMR, TherapySource, and HealthWyse.

Casamba’s solutions are designed for contract therapy, skilled nursing facilities, outpatient clinics, and home health and hospice care settings.

The integration of Kno2’s interoperability platform aims to drive easy, secure exchange of electronic patient documentation between Casamba’s post-acute care clients and other healthcare providers throughout the continuum, according to a media release.

Kno2’s platform features expanding connectivity through streamlined workflows, cloud fax capabilities, and the ability to connect to interoperable networks such as direct messaging.

“Our partnership with Kno2 is a key example of our commitment to bringing solutions to our customers that optimize their clinical and business operations. With our combined platforms, we will deliver a more robust, secure way for providers to better coordinate patient care,” says Ronnie Amrany, founder and CEO of Agoura Hills, Calif-Headquartered Casamba LLC, in the release.

“The Gold Rush toward electronic documentation was primarily focused on acute care, which means that many post-acute providers were initially left behind,” states Jon Elwell, CEO of Kno2, based in Boise, Idaho, in the release.

“The industry has now recognized the vital role that SNFs, outpatient therapy clinics, home care, hospice and others play in patient outcomes and is looking for a rapid and affordable way to bring that missing care data into the longitudinal patient record. Casamba has an outstanding reputation among these providers, and we are proud to help them make the leap to full interoperability across the spectrum of care,” he continues.

Integration of the Kno2 platform into Casamba’s solutions will begin in the fourth quarter of 1018. All Casamba clients will receive the upgrade as part of future releases of the individual products. In addition their electronic identities will also be assigned and published in Kno2’s national directory for electronic connectivity, making them visible to providers who need to share protected health information, the release explains.
