Pascal Odek spearheaded the creation of WellBeam’s electronic health record-integrated platform aimed at transforming post-acute care workflows and reducing clinician burnout. He collaborates with providers to understand the unique challenges involved with coordinating services. By implementing electronic signatures and real-time messaging, the WellBeam team’s efforts have cut home health order authorization times from 21 days to two or three days at client health systems, according to the organization. Odek’s team has also built an automated billing workflow for related charges, unlocking new revenue streams for some clients. Within WellBeam, he leads hackathons and AI workshops, fostering problem-solving and creativity among employees.
