The Netsmart CareFabric is a key part of the best-in-class technology platform that Curana Health providers use.”
Curana plans to expand its use of the CareFabric leveraging the myHealthPointe™ consumer engagement platform which supports remote health status monitoring to present insights to providers to help prioritize care.
