Yardi and Kno2 Partner to Streamline Clinical Information Exchange

Real estate and HIT technology provider bringing EHR
interoperability to senior living

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., April 9, 2020 – Yardi®
has selected Kno2®
as its interoperability partner. Kno2’s Interoperability as a Service™,
which drives connectivity for health data networks, will be integrated into Yardi®
EHR for seamless clinical record sharing.

Continuity of care across settings is challenging and a key
risk factor to positive resident outcomes. Many senior living referrals take
place through disconnected systems, including fax, voice or separate referral
solutions. At the same time, patients often receive paper medical records when
they are discharged. This raises the risk of documentation errors and hinders
care coordination. 

Once the integration is complete, Yardi clients will be able
to electronically send and receive health data to ensure safer clinical care
transitions in senior living. Health information for incoming residents will
populate Yardi EHR automatically, and care providers will be able to query resident
records as needed.

“Accurate, complete records are essential for better health
outcomes,” said Fil Southerland, director of health care solutions for Yardi. “With
Kno2, our clients will be able to simplify the transition experience while
protecting older adults during their care journey.”

“Interoperability is a huge focus in the industry, now so
more than ever. Senior living providers are taking extraordinary steps to
address COVID-19. They need timely access to critical information,” said Ray
Elliott, vice president of senior living for Yardi. “This partnership with Kno2
reflects our shared commitment to taking care of our clients as they care for
their own.”

The integration release is planned for Q3 2020. In the
meantime, Yardi clients can sign up for Kno2’s free public offering in response
to COVID-19. During the declared state of emergency, Kno2 is providing on-demand
record retrieval at no charge to all health care providers not already
connected to Carequality.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the importance of
interoperability and the ease in which clinical information needs to be
available to an entire healthcare community,” said Jon Elwell, chief executive officer
of Kno2. “We cannot rely on paper fax for this important task. Yardi has built
a strong reputation for delivering innovative technology solutions that help assisted
living and memory care organizations solve their greatest challenges. We are
proud that they have recognized the power of the Kno2 platform and have chosen
to integrate our industry-leading solution into theirs, ensuring vital
connectivity between all health care stakeholders throughout the care
ecosystem.”

Senior living providers can sign up today for patient record
access on the Kno2
COVID-19 site.
