St. Luke's reducing discharge delays after implementing EHR tool

Bethlehem, Pa.-based St. Luke's University Health Network is seeing an improvement in patient discharge after implementing Parachute Health's platform into its EHR system.

The health system completed the integration across its 184 locations in 2021. Signature time dropped 99 percent since implementing the platform, according to a Feb. 9 Parachute Health news release.

"Sometimes patients were discharged with equipment without insurance verification, so SLUHN had to absorb costs," Broc Pollinger, manager of patient support services at St. Luke's, said. "There are no missed signatures now and insurance is confirmed. The case management team doesn't have to think a day ahead!"
