Two new products designed to provide Axxess’ home health and hospice clients with even more valuable insights

With SimiTree’s Market Analysis Platform (MAP) home health and hospice providers can easily quantify their market position, including market share and trends, referral partner strength and competitor analysis. The platform offers key insights into service areas, changes in revenue, referral patterns, quality scores, and more.

“This partnership between SimiTree and Axxess is an incredible opportunity to bring together two organizations that equally strive for excellence, innovation, and making a positive impact on home healthcare,” said William Simione III, CEO. “Pairing our tools together will create an even more powerful technology suite that improves operating efficiency and contributes to better outcomes. It will also allow organizations in this space to take advantage of real-time data that will help them identify the best opportunities for growth. Together, we will continue to empower providers and create the best value possible.”

Axxess clients can now also leverage the new SimiTree Compass tool to help optimize home health visit utilization and resource management. This visit utilization guidance tool provides crucial data to help agencies make informed decisions, ensure consistent care and maintain appropriate documentation. SimiTree Compass includes information on standard visit ranges, LUPA likelihood, and visit discipline mix that is all presented in a user-friendly format tailored to clinicians and managers. Accessible early in the patient’s care episode, the system allows for quick lookups and adjustments to fit specific clinical profiles and agency needs without requiring changes to existing processes.

“We’re excited to partner with SimiTree to bring both of these cutting-edge solutions to our clients to further enhance their capabilities with Axxess,” said Chris Taylor, Senior Vice President of Channel Partnerships at Axxess. “The Market Analysis Platform aligns perfectly with our mission to empower home health and hospice providers with the tools they need to succeed. And by leveraging data and analytics from the SimiTree Compass tool, our clients can make informed decisions to optimize their operations and drive growth.”

SimiTree’s Compass tool is available to Axxess Home Health clients. The MAP tool is available to Axxess Home Health and Axxess Hospice clients.
