The Healthtech Podcast #133: The Story of CarePort Health with Lissy Hu š„
Lissy Hu is the founder and CEO of Careport and came up with the concept while she was getting her MD and MBA at Harvard. She entered and won a Harvard business plan competition in 2012. That same year, she got additional funding, $3.8 million, through the Techstars Boston accelerator program, allowing her to launch CarePort in 2013. The company built out its software, which patients use to find a post-acute provider and hospitals use to track patient outcomes. In 2016, national healthcare IT company Allscripts (NASDAQ: MDRX) acquired CarePort. CarePortās software is now available both as a standalone product and integrated into Allscriptās platform, which is used by 1,000 hospitals and 20,000 post-acute care facilities. Lissy runs both the CarePort business unit and the larger Allscripts care coordination unit, which were rolled under the CarePort name this year.
