American HealthTech and Maun-Lemke Speaking and Consulting recently announced a strategic partnership in which operations solutions that benefit skilled providers will be jointly marketed.

“Reform is driving healthcare networks to shift patients from hospitals, at an average of $2,500 per day, to skilled settings, that cost a fraction of that,” explains Teresa Chase, president and CEO of American HealthTech. “As a result, providers must excel at taking increasingly complex patients, stabilizing them, and preventing return-to-hospital trips. Armed with data-driven proof of their success in doing so, providers will be well positioned to win contracts and out-market competitors for Medicare business.”
