In early 2017, Epic introduced the Epic App Orchard, which opened up their platform to developers to create apps that use SMART and FHIR technology to integrate into Epic. This is an evolution to the traditional quarterly update integration that Epic began offering a number of years earlier.

In developing Krames On FHIR, Krames’ Product Team conducted many interviews with existing clients to see what were their “pain points” and looked for suggestions to improve upon or eliminate those pain points. The Krames On FHIR results have been truly impressive:

EMRs are great for clinical documentation but they were not built to optimize the experience for patients or clinicians, which can often drive down utilization of key functionality of the EMR. Get Well helps optimize the investment organizations have already made in their EMRs, and get the most value out of them. Interoperability is a clear strength for Get Well and our experienced team reduces implementation time and burden for a hospital’s IS department. Our solutions are EMR-agnostic; we have established bidirectional interfaces to every major EMR for patient education, and a host of pharmacy, medication administration / dispensing, RTLS, dietary and hospital communication systems. Our deep expertise ensures that our technology is fully embedded and communicating with your core health IT platforms to pull critical information, to document information and to coordinate with other systems and bring them to the bedside.

Our extensive interoperability enables us to automate and standardize important elements of the patient experience while streamlining existing processes and workflows to save time for care teams. Get Well has successfully integrated with more systems than any other patient engagement provider.

We have over 23 years of experience integrating with all major HIT systems: 3,500+ live integrations, 160+ different interfaces and 50+ HIT vendor systems including IOT, EVS, meal ordering, RTLS, medication administration/dispensing, pharmacy, hospital communication, etc.

We believe the following components of our solution distinguish us from others in this space:

Improved Patient & Family Education - We believe that more engaged patients and families result in better outcomes. Our technology goes beyond providing on-demand access to education and is highly effective at proactively engaging patients to complete prescribed interventions. 

Key Systems Integration - Interoperability is a clear strength for our company. Our solutions are EMR-agnostic and we have established bidirectional interfaces to every major EMR for patient education, and a host of pharmacy, medication administration/dispensing, RTLS, dietary and hospital communication systems.

Patient Satisfaction - Get Well improves patient satisfaction on several fronts. From entertainment options, including television content, movies, games and internet access to easy feedback collection and communication of non-clinical requests directly to the appropriate department. GetWell Inpatient helps hospitals gauge satisfaction levels, notifying staff in the event that an intervention is needed to circumvent a negative experience. As a result, our clients have seen significant HCAHPS improvements.

Innovative Cross-Continuum Engagement - Our inpatient platform has expanded to include pre-admission and post-discharge follow-up care. We can now engage patients digitally across all settings of care through integrated modules that client sites can activate individually or as a platform to create a unified Get Well experience.

Science- & Evidence-Based Approach - To advance the science of patient and family engagement, Get Well founded the O’Neil Center, the industry’s first central resource dedicated to helping health care providers translate patient and family engagement theory into practice. The O’Neil Center published its Interactive Care Model (ICM), a framework that guides the effective implementation of GetWell Inpatient and other Get Well solutions.

Our Passion is Patient Engagement - Get Well's sole business and exclusive focus is patient activation, engagement, and guidance on the healthcare journey. We are committed to maintaining our position as the market leader.
