Continual Care Solutions and Strategic Interests announce a partnership to bring Digital Transformation to Human and Social Services Organizations
&
imPowr, a software platform thoughtfully designed for human and social services organizations, and Strategic Interests, a healthcare IT consulting firm with a proven record of leading change, are announcing a partnership to bring Digital Transformation to human and social services organizations. This will help improve sustainability and resilience in 2021 and beyond.
Leveraging the comprehensive imPowr platform with Strategic Interests’ experience and expertise in successful digital planning, implementation and optimization, the partnership allows community based organizations and others to quickly adopt best practices, gain insights and make better decisions.
Often, the purchase of a software platform is only part of the complete solution needed for organizations to gain the full value of this effort. In order to be able to capture, manage and optimize data to drive better performance and increase revenue opportunities, an organization needs a digital strategy, an implementation plan, well-designed reports and dashboards and support to make it all “stick”. This deliberate approach helps organizations avoid costly mistakes, reduces delays and provides a sound basis for participation in valuable contracts and collaborations.
“We are excited to be collaborating with Strategic Interests since their innovative thinking and understanding of customer needs will complement the mission behind our imPowr platform. They are trusted leaders in the industry and together we will be able to serve more human services organizations with excellence.”
– Sean Ossont, President, Continual Care Solutions.
“The partnership between SI and imPowr will bring customers a highly coordinated process to plan, deploy, and apply best in class solutions to improve their performance based on their unique needs, objectives, and an understanding of how the organization functions.”
– Al Kinel, President, Strategic Interests.
This partnership brings not only a best in class platform but the strategy and support to quickly realize meaningful and measurable benefits.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES) that passed on March 27, 2020 was the largest in US history, representing a $2 trillion aid package. Congress was encouraged to provide increased access, funding and guidance for Telehealth and related health IT from the eHealth Initiative (eHi) and other leading organizations. The CARES Act addresses and relieves some of the immediate challenges in delivering quality healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Telehealth and other health related technology is a natural solution to some of these current healthcare delivery challenges. The CARES Act provides increased telehealth grants by reauthorizing the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant funding for 2021-2025 making $29 million per year available. It also eases some of the previous restrictions on Telehealth visits including the requirement that the patient was seen within the past three years for an in person visit.
The range of Telehealth solutions has expanded considerably. The CARES Act acknowledges this by redefining Telehealth beyond just real-time video technology. In particular, the ability to monitor the health and symptom status of a patient remotely will prove to be life-saving technology for patients and providers.
The CARES Act also allows the designation of FQHCs and some rural clinics as Medicare Telehealth “distant sites” to make reimbursement for Telehealth visits easier. Additional appropriations provide funding for specific Telehealth activities and initiatives.
Our old offices were a bit like the board game Risk. We annexed space around us as we continued to need it and eventually cobbled together a group of offices. This involved knocking down walls here and putting up walls there, some interior windows and a few too many doorways. We were productive and made it work — but it lacked something.
Just a short hop away, we found a place better suited to our consultants, partners, and clients and this week, we moved to our beautiful offices: Executive Square at 95 Allens Creek in Rochester. We constructed team rooms, a large conference room and no longer in a third floor walk-up! We are confident this new location will better serve our needs and yours. Though we are still unpacking, stop by and let’s discuss how we can help meet your organization’s goals and best strategic interests.
