Industry Leader for Care Coordination Honored Again for Exceptional Year-over-Year Growth

Dublin, Ohio (PRWEB) August 18, 2016

Updox, the industry leader for care coordination and healthcare customer relationship management (CRM) solutions, was recognized again in 2016 at no. 571 on the 35th Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment— its independent small businesses. Updox was recognized for 686% growth, placing it again in the top 10% of fastest growing companies in America.

The 2016 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com, is the most competitive crop in the list's history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 433%. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue is $200 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8% of all jobs created in the entire economy during that period. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.

"It's such an honor to be recognized for the second year in a row by Inc. magazine," said Michael Morgan, chief executive officer, Updox. "This year, our success was fueled by adding more healthcare groups to our growing care coordination network, including physicians as well as other groups involved in the care process, such as pharmacists."

With healthcare's move to value-based care, there is a need to connect the full healthcare supply chain, including hospitals, outpatient providers, long-term care and pharmacies. Those connections must go beyond simply the ability to share a clinical file. True coordination requires a real infrastructure that supports collaboration and all types of communications. Newer value-based programs, such as chronic care management or transitions of care, share a common theme where each member of the supply chain needs a way to get information about the patient, the ability to manage the care team and their communications preferences, tools to set tasks and establish milestones and then automation to keep everyone updated. Building that care coordination infrastructure is what drives Updox to ensure all areas of healthcare are prepared as the industry evolves.

"Many technology companies call themselves care coordination but they only focus on solving one care program while most organizations will be managing a number of programs for value-based care. Healthcare providers don't have time to switch between multiple technologies," continued Morgan. "Updox doesn't focus on just one program in isolation. We're unique because our care coordination inbox lays the foundation to manage all types of communications and programs to support our customers as the industry transitions to value-based care."
