Fastrack and Graham-Field announce strategic alliance

PLAINVIEW, N.Y., Sept. 12, 2012—Fastrack Healthcare Systems, Inc., and GF Health Products, Inc. (Graham-Field) have entered into a strategic alliance to integrate Graham-Field’s product catalog and dealer price list into the Fastrack inventory management and e-commerce modules. Through this alliance the companies will increase the efficiency of an HME provider’s inventory management and online ordering capabilities.

According to Spencer Kay, president of Fastrack, “By combining Fastrack’s leadership in billing, patient management and operations with Graham-Field’s extensive product line, we are enabling HME providers to improve their inventory management and increase their efficiency through online ordering and payment. The goal of this alliance is simple: we want HME providers to focus on patient outcomes and let Fastrack Software take care of as many of their operational needs as possible.”

Fastrack and Graham-Field will debut the integrated system at Medtrade 2012 in Atlanta. As the home-care industry transitions to a new era of competitive bidding and an increase in the importance of patient outcomes, the ability to give HME providers more efficient tools to run their business will be of paramount importance.

Ken Spett, CEO and president of Graham-Field, added that, “Fastrack and Graham-Field have embarked on what will be a very successful collaboration in inventory management and online ordering. We want to help HME providers increase their efficiency and give them tools that can enhance their profitability. HME providers can view Graham-Field’s inventory by warehouse and place orders directly from the Fastrack EDI Module without time-consuming phone calls or faxes.”
