HEALTHCAREfirst, a leading provider of Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") solutions and services to home health and hospice agencies nationwide, has acquired Deyta, a data analytics and patient satisfaction solutions business serving the hospice and home health markets. In this latest move to further establish its position as the premier data analytics provider in the industry, HEALTHCAREfirst plans to leverage the combined company's collective analytics capabilities to offer home health and hospice providers valuable insight into financial, operational, clinical, and patient satisfaction data.
