IntellaTriage Welcomes Michael Brents to Enhance Business Analytics

IntellaTriage, a leader in providing nurse-first triage solutions for hospice and home health organizations, has made a significant addition to its leadership team by naming Michael Brents, PT, DPT, MHA as the Vice President of Business Analytics. This appointment is poised to revolutionize how data is utilized within the organization, aligning with the company’s commitment to delivering superior care to patients and their families.

In his new role, Brents will spearhead the analytics strategy to enrich operations, providing critical insights that support the company’s triage nurses and driving overall performance. His extensive background in healthcare, spanning over 20 years in both acute and post-acute settings, uniquely positions him to enhance IntellaTriage’s robust business intelligence capabilities.

Brents’ career began as a physical therapist, where he cultivated a deep understanding of the patient experience. Following this, he held various senior leadership roles, including Chief Clinical Officer and VP of Business Intelligence, which involved overseeing large-scale analytic programs and managing EMR product development. His ability to blend clinical expertise with data-driven strategies makes him an asset for IntellaTriage, where he will focus on translating complex data into actionable insights that ultimately improve patient outcomes.

Expressing his enthusiasm, Brents stated, "I am elated to have a closer hand in improving patient care. Throughout my career, my mission has always revolved around human-centered care. At IntellaTriage, I am excited to merge my analytical skills with my clinical experience to foster insights that propel the organization forward."

Daniel Reese, the CEO of IntellaTriage, echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the importance of data in enhancing the lives of patients and staff alike. He noted, "While we prioritize a patient and nurse-centric approach, the insights gleaned from our data are invaluable. Michael's expertise will enable us not only to assess our performance but also to elevate the lives of our patients and our dedicated nursing team. His arrival marks a step toward ensuring our data supports operational excellence and compassionate care."

As healthcare dynamics shift further toward a value-based model, the need for transparency and actionable data has never been more crucial. IntellaTriage’s innovative platform, IntellaHub, already manages a monthly census exceeding 50,000 covered lives. It captures and analyzes a multitude of data points aimed at refining care delivery throughout patient episodes, ultimately bridging communication gaps and improving overall care outcomes.

Founded in 2008, IntellaTriage operates 24/7, providing vital nurse-first triage solutions across the U.S. The company utilizes the largest network of remote licensed nurses in the post-acute care sector, alleviating pressures on front-line clinicians and significantly mitigating nurse burnout and turnover. In light of a persistent nursing shortage, IntellaTriage’s services are invaluable, offering crucial solutions that allow nurses to focus on quality care without the added stress of on-call demands. As the healthcare landscape increasingly emphasizes patient outcomes and quality care, IntellaTriage is strategically positioned for continued growth, ensuring an optimal experience for both patients and care teams nationwide.

With the addition of Michael Brents, IntellaTriage is set to further cement its leadership role in the field of analytics-driven healthcare, reflecting the organization's ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in patient care.
