Overview
The PointClickCare (PCC) integration for skilled nursing allows users to pass referrals/patients, contacts, and associated demographic information from the Aline CRM to PCC. The integration is bi-directional such that once a patient is admitted in PointClickCare, Admit, Discharge, Transfer (ADT) data will populate in the Aline CRM as updates are made in PCC. Thanks to a recent update, attachments that exist on an individual’s profile in the Aline CRM can also be sent to PCC along with the patient. Some features and functions of the integration may incur a monthly fee. Please contact your Aline Customer Success Manager or PCC Account Manager for more information.
Please note this integration is optimized for our Post-Acute clients. While it can be activated and utilized for senior living communities, you may find it lacking certain functionalities. Please contact your sales representative or customer success manager with any questions.
