WellSky partners with Google Cloud to deploy AI-powered provider directory for hospital discharge planning

WellSky has partnered with Google Cloud to integrate AI capabilities into its CarePort solutions, creating an AI-powered provider directory for hospital discharge planning. The system uses Google Cloud's Vertex AI, Gemini models and BigQuery to continuously update provider data, reflecting real-time changes in services, insurance acceptance and coverage areas. The technology addresses the challenge of maintaining current provider directories, which hospitals use to guide post-acute care discharge decisions. By automating data validation, the system reduces manual verification needs and helps hospitals match patients with appropriate post-acute providers based on real-time availability and expertise. WellSky serves more than 20,000 client sites, including hospital systems, home health franchises and post-acute providers. The company will showcase the new capabilities at the ACMA National Conference in Orlando from 20-23 April.
