WellBeam, a healthcare technology company focused on electronic medical record and clinical workflow interoperability, deployed its platform with Kettering Health and Alternate Solutions Health Network (ASHN). Kettering Health, a regional integrated health system, and ASHN, a provider of home health services, will use the software to connect physicians and home care clinicians through digital workflows embedded into existing EMR systems.
As patient care shifts to the home setting, healthcare providers coordinate order management alongside physician signatures and clinical communication using fax transmissions and manual telephone follow-up. These fragmented processes restrict care management between clinical teams while creating billing challenges. The WellBeam deployment replaces these manual steps by enabling physicians to review and sign home health orders and care plans within their existing EMR interface. The software then automatically routes the completed documentation back into the patient's medical record.
"Kettering Health and ASHN share a commitment to innovation and operational excellence," said Amee Devani, CEO and Co-Founder of WellBeam. "When health systems and home health providers are connected through interoperable, EMR-native workflows, they can reduce administrative friction, strengthen collaboration, and create meaningful value across both organizations."
The software integration provides distinct operational changes for both provider organizations. For Kettering Health, the platform captures billable charges associated with the oversight activities physicians perform during home health management. For Alternate Solutions Health Network, the digital document routing reduces the administrative burden of manual follow-up.
“Strong collaboration with our home health agency partner is essential to supporting patients across settings,” said Jody Underwood, Vice President of Population Health, Kettering Health. “WellBeam connects our physicians and ASHN’s clinicians through more efficient workflows that strengthen communication and care coordination.”
“We are continually looking for ways to simplify processes for our clinicians and strengthen collaboration with our physician partners," said Al Lefeld, Chief Transformation Officer, Alternate Solutions Health Network. "This partnership helps reduce delays associated with manual workflows while creating a more efficient experience for the teams caring for patients at home."
Beyond the initial deployment, the software developer notes that replacing communication channels with standardized EMR-integrated workflows produces faster document turnaround times and improved financial outcomes across its user base.
