OVERLAND PARK, Kan., May 18, 2021 — Netsmart announced that it has been recognized as the #1 post-acute technology vendor by Black Book Market Research (Black Book) annual survey for the seventh consecutive year. The Black Book survey conducted earlier this year polled more than 1,450 healthcare providers’ user experience scores for operational and financial administrators, nursing and clinical staff, physicians and support personnel.
“Year after year, we see client users recognize Netsmart as the top-rated technology company in the post-acute industry,” said Doug Brown, president and CEO of Black Book Market Research. “It’s clear that in an increasingly complex market, Netsmart is continuing to lead the post-acute care industry by providing the CareFabric platform that is a vital part of their users’ workflow, patient coordination and critical digital capabilities to be successful in the value-based care environment.”
The Black Book Home Health and Subacute IT User survey polled 20 top vendors to rank the top post-acute ambulatory health technology platform. The ratings were based on responses from post-acute electronic health record (EHR) users serving skilled nursing facilities, short and long-term rehabilitation centers, hospital-based subacute units, home health agencies and hospice organizations.
“We are honored to receive this continued recognition, as it is validated by clients that together we are committed to delivering high-quality solutions and services across the post-acute continuum,” said Netsmart CEO Mike Valentine. “The healthcare industry took a shift this year, and our teams worked alongside our clients to enhance technology and advance developments to meet the challenges COVID-19 brought to these communities. Provider satisfaction is key for improving the outcomes of patients.”
In addition to being recognized as the top post-acute technology solutions vendor, Netsmart was also awarded for the top performing behavioral health EHR by Black Book survey 2021.

"Top-rated industry software solutions, like Netsmart, are in high demand because technological efficiencies are needed to bring a higher-level benefit to providers should overpayments diminish the value of ambulatory services as an alternative to high-cost inpatient services," said Brown.
