Support Engineer, Supplier
Published on March 08, 2025
In the U.S. alone, over 30 million patients per year are prescribed care via paper and fax. The ordering process is long, complicated, and yields an 83% error rate. Discharges are delayed, patients are stuck in care facilities, and often readmitted shortly thereafter if they do not receive the life-saving products they need.
The world is transitioning to digital ordering. At Parachute Health, we’re leading the charge with a platform that is 10 times faster than the status quo. We connect with major hospitals, payors, and suppliers of life-saving products. Our vision of a "delightfully simple" digital ordering experience for clinicians pushes us forward to transforming the world of post-acute care.
Founded in New York City, Parachute Health is the leading post-acute software platform with a network of over 3,000 supplier locations and 370,000 clinicians across 60,000 healthcare facilities across all 50 states. We help millions of patients each year access medical equipment, supplies and services they need quickly and reliably.
Nearly half of patients needing medical equipment at discharge don’t get it in time. The ordering process is too convoluted and is still primarily handled by fax. These inefficiencies lead to higher cost of care and poorer patient outcomes. In the most extreme cases, this equipment means life or death.
At Parachute Health, it is our mission to make sure that every patient gets what they need, when they need it. We achieve this by driving efficiency through digital connectivity into every aspect of the ordering process, making it delightfully simple.
