WAYNE, Pa., June 30, 2021 (Newswire.com) - Netsmart announced today it has acquired Selman-Holman & Associates from Briggs Healthcare Company, a Texas-based full-service consulting firm specializing in assisting home care agencies and hospices across the nation to maximize their potential through regulatory compliance, OASIS and coding accuracy and in-depth staff education and training. Selman-Holman will become part of McBee, a division of Netsmart. McBee is the leading provider of OASIS, minimum data set (MDS) coding and advisory consulting services for post-acute care.

The acquisition of Selman-Holman, an industry-leading organization within the home care and hospice community, will extend the Netsmart CareFabric^® platform with improved solutions for OASIS coding, Pre-Claim Review, enhanced regulatory support capabilities and strengthened educational offerings. The addition of Selman-Holman allows McBee to offer clients greater automation, training capacity, deeper benchmark comparisons and more specialized services than any other vendor in the market.

"As a recognized thought-leader in the post-acute care community, we couldn't be more thrilled to advance the scale and capabilities of McBee with the high-quality staff and industry knowledge and expertise of the Selman-Holman team," said McBee President Mike Dordick. "We believe this scale will drive efficiencies, more automation and increase the breadth of the services we can offer our collective clients and the post-acute community as a whole."

Selman-Holman will bring a variety of educational offerings, including CodeProU online training, live seminar training and the national Insight conference. In addition, Selman-Holman contributes workshops, state association training, teleconferences and web-based education. The educational offerings cover topics including Patient-Driven Grouping Model, home care and hospice coding, OASIS, home care documentation, coverage and eligibility, fraud and abuse, regulatory compliance and more. Selman-Holman will provide an enhanced array of informative educational services that will become part of the McBee offerings and will be recognized as the Post-Acute Academy powered by Selman-Holman.

"As I look across the industry, McBee and Selman-Holman share a vision of quality, built on a foundation of long-term client relationships," said Lisa Selman-Holman, CEO, Selman-Holman. "I'm excited to join McBee and continue to focus on my area of greatest passion—leading education and training efforts across the industry. This work will include enhancing the McBee Post-Acute Academy by adding the industry-leading Selman-Holman offerings of CodeProU online training, live seminar training and the Insight conferences to McBee."

Netsmart also announced today the acquisition of SimpleLTC, a predictive analytics software company that will integrate an offering that simplifies MDS and Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) workflow with pre-transmission scrubbing, direct submission and post-validation analytics in one solution, improving organizational management into the CareFabric^® platform. This integration will enable providers with the tools to digitize the entire enterprise of an organization and deliver improved solutions for regulatory compliance, reimbursement optimization and quality measurement. These acquisitions build on and expand the Netsmart suite of clinical, financial and reporting solutions to meet the complex requirements of value-based care across post-acute care.
