KabaFusion, Tennr strengthen referral management process

NEW YORK – KabaFusion and Tennr have announced a strategic partnership that they say will further streamline care coordination, drive operational efficiencies and improve patient outcomes through the use of artificial intelligence (AI). The partnership will leverage Tennr’s advanced automation and data-driven insights to strengthen KabaFusion’s referral management processes, eliminating delays in patient onboarding and enhancing patient experience, the companies say. "Our North star has always been to reduce patient care delays across the U.S.," said Trey Holterman, CEO at Tennr. "It's always refreshing when a partner as well-known as KabaFusion is aligned on the goal of delivering the fastest patient care possible and preventing patients from slipping through the cracks." As a result of the partnership, KabaFusion’s clinicians will be able to devote more time to direct patient care and less time navigating administrative bottlenecks that delay treatment, the companies say. This means patients will receive timely, consistent, high-quality care across the company's rapidly growing national network of home infusion pharmacies, alternative infusion sites and home health agencies. "At KabaFusion, clinical excellence and human compassion have always been at the heart of our operations," said Tina Benkendorfer, PharmD, chief operating officer & chief compliance officer, KabaFusion. "By integrating Tennr's advanced technology, we are reducing the administrative burden on our clinical teams and enhancing our ability to deliver timely, high-quality care so that our clinicians can focus on what matters most—the health and wellbeing of our patients."
