NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Medalogix, a home health and hospice analytics company, announced its newest partner in improving patient care, EGAN Home Health and Hospice.

The decision comes after Egan Home Health was searching for a way to enhance appropriate care, especially in its end-of-life care service line.

“Medalogix came to us with a predictive analytics technology that will help us identify the most appropriate levels of care for our patients,” said Peter Egan, EGAN chief executive officer. “It will benefit our healthcare delivery system by identifying at an early stage those who may be at risk for health decline and their need to go to the hospital or emergency room. It allows us to put in place interventions to change this. Being able to provide the right level of care at the right time is every health provider’s goal and we believe our partnership with Medalogix will help us greatly in this regard.”

EGAN has a strong presence in Southeast Louisiana with branches in LaPlace, Covington, Franklin, Plaquemines and Bogalusa. Medalogix CEO Dan Hogan said EGAN is a forward thinking home health and hospice agency that embraces technology to provide the best patient care.

“We’re proud to work with them to incorporate analytics and operational intervention workflows into their patient care plans,” he said.

Bridge, the technology Egan is leveraging, identifies patients who could benefit from hospice care and then equips providers with organizational workflows to ensure the right patients hear about their end of life options at the right time.
