Geriatric Care Providers Face Increasing Regulatory & Operational Challenges

As the aging population continues to grow, the demand for specialized gerontology technology has intensified. Recent federal policy shifts, including updates to Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services reimbursement models for chronic care management and new data-sharing mandates under the 21st Century Cures Act, are driving the need for advanced, interoperable health IT solutions. With over 82%[1] of geriatricians indicating that regulatory complexity is a leading barrier to care coordination, healthcare providers require EHR platforms that target compliance, while enhancing clinical efficiency.
