Drive|DeVilbiss Partners with Leading Software Provider Brightree to Facilitate Seamless Electronic Ordering for DME/HME Providers

PORT WASHINGTON, NEW YORK, October 26, 2015

Drive|DeVilbiss has partnered with Brightree®, the leading provider of cloud-based clinical, business management and billing software for the post-acute care industry, as an integrated electronic purchasing partner. DME/HME dealers can now streamline their workflow by ordering equipment from Drive|DeVilbiss Supply directly from the Brightree Integrated ePurchasing platform. With this real-time integration, dealers can receive automatic order confirmations, perform one-touch drop-shipments and submit orders directly to Drive|DeVilbiss.

“Partnering with Brightree will not only reduce expenses, streamline efficiencies and strengthen the business opportunities of our provider/dealers; it will also allow our providers/dealers to continually improve care for their patients.” states Harvey Diamond, CEO of Drive|DeVilbiss.

“HME providers are always looking to increase operational efficiencies and streamline their workflows,” said Rob Boeye, executive vice president HME at Brightree. “Our strategic partnership with Drive|DeVilbiss, and this real-time integration, will enable our common customers to reduce operating costs, save valuable time and improve patient care with seamless ordering and faster delivery of supplies.”

The focus over the last several years has been to help providers reengineer and reimagine their businesses and maximizing operation efficiency is a big piece of that puzzle. By eliminating extra steps between purchase order, receipt of goods and billing, providers can significantly drive costs out of their business.

Brightree will be exhibiting their ePurchasing solution in booth #1345 at the Medtrade Fall Conference on October 27-29 in the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Ga.
