EChart On Track to Serve 10,000 Seniors With its Innovative Software Product
EChart Healthcare of Fredericton has set a lofty three-year goal for its Software-as-a-Service product for seniors’ homes, but CEO Amanda Betts is undaunted by the task once she considers her first-year projections.
Surveying the young company’s current pipeline of new business, she believes eChart will hit its 2018 targets in July rather than at year-end due to strong customer response.
The company’s product is now being used by seven or eight seniors’ homes in New Brunswick, up from three in August. And Betts is optimistic about its sales given that she knows of no other product that helps both facilities and the families of their patients in the way eChart does.
“Our goal is to cover 10,000 beds by Year 3 and we don’t see that as being a real stretch,” said Betts in an interview Tuesday. “We’re already on target to meet our 2018 goals way ahead of schedule.”
Betts created eChart to solve a problem she experienced at Autumn Lee, the retirement home she runs with her family. The problem was that patients’ records were all kept on paper – reams of paper that filled row upon row of binders in the facility’s offices. Staff had to fill out endless forms, file and retrieve the records, and the residents’ family members couldn’t easily access them.
