We are proud of the work we've done supporting hospitals with sleep screening, diagnosing, and ensuring adherence to prescribed therapy for sleep disorders. collaboratehealth's software platform considers all of the patient's post-hospital needs from sleep apnea screening to medication reconciliation. Healthcare does not stop when the patient leaves the hospital - this post-discharge offering makes it easier for hospital professionals to ensure their patients receive the education, coaching, and at-home monitoring required to prevent readmissions and improve patient care and clinical outcomes." - John Mathias, Chief Development Officer at MedBridge Healthcare
