PNTG Pennant Group Inc

Kno2, the company leading the future of healthcare communication, announced today a partnership with The Pennant Group, Inc (NASDAQ: PNTG) to drive automation and innovation to deliver patient care in the home.

Under the partnership, Pennant Group, a holding company of affiliated home health, hospice and senior living companies, will join Kno2’s Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN).

“We are thrilled to welcome Pennant Services to the Kno2 QHIN family,” said Therasa Bell, Kno2’s president and cofounder. “This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to improve clinical outcomes and streamline care delivery. Together, we will expand existing and drive new standards for interoperability in the healthcare industry on behalf of post-acute providers.”

With the movement of care to the home and the expansion of our aging population, demand for at-home, post-acute care is growing. This is creating a pressing need for seamless information exchange to drive quality patient care and the optimal provider experience.

The Pennant Group, which includes independent operating subsidiaries that provide healthcare services through home health and hospice agencies and senior living communities, will leverage Kno2’s full-stack healthcare communication infrastructure to drive automation, efficiency and innovation on behalf of its agencies and communities.

“Partnering with Kno2 is a significant step forward in our commitment to delivering exceptional care,” said Pennant COO John Gochnour. “We are excited about the opportunities this partnership brings to enhance our clinical operations and ultimately improve our patients’ health outcomes.”

The integration with Kno2’s Communication API will enhance care coordination, improve patient safety, streamline operations and support value-based care initiatives at the local agency and community level.

“This partnership with Kno2 is about setting a new standard in patient care through connectivity,” said Pennant CIO Bryant Saxon. “By integrating Kno2’s advanced QHIN infrastructure, we’re enabling our agencies to access critical patient information faster, reduce administrative burdens and focus more on what matters most—delivering exceptional care in the home.”

Kno2 continues to lead the way in healthcare interoperability, providing innovative solutions that connect healthcare providers, payers, and patients across the continuum. The addition of The Pennant Group to Kno2’s QHIN underscores Kno2’s commitment to driving connectivity to the entire healthcare ecosystem helping solve healthcare’s biggest challenges.
