The newest company to be welcomed into the Yardi family provides electronic health record and electronic medication administration record software and services for assisted living and long-term care communities.

ALMSA Corporation, based in Eagle, Idaho, was founded by a team of long term care professionals with longtime experience in the industry. The company’s software platform includes assessment and care planning, financial analysis and risk mitigation.

ALMSA also has a solution for communication between long term care communities and the pharmacies that fill prescriptions for their residents.

“Integration between Yardi and ALMSA’s advanced bi-directional eMAR solution has been in place for several years.  With a single-platform solution, users of the Yardi Voyager™ Senior Housing suite of products will achieve even greater operational efficiency.  Furthermore, the convergence of ALMSA and Yardi will help guide the industry’s transition to EHR,” said Eric Kolber, vice president of senior housing for Yardi.

“Combining ALMSA’s industry-leading EHR platform with Yardi will create the long-term care industry’s first end-to-end, Web-based financial and EHR package, including mobile applications,” said Bill Southerland, CEO and president of ALMSA.  “We will continue the relationships that ALMSA has established with pharmacies across the country that have adopted our eMAR solution.  We will also expand with new opportunities.”

ALMSA will maintain all key personnel and its office in Eagle. ALMSA’s vision is to enhance profitability and oversight of a variety of community environments by utilizing a highly adaptable and accessible Web-based health platform to move community management and health operations into the digital world.
