The PointClickCare Summit 2025 brought together healthcare leaders to discuss the latest innovations transforming patient care in the long-term post-acute care (LTPAC) market. Here are five essential takeaways that are reshaping the future of healthcare—and how ActualMeds is helping to lead the charge.
1. Interoperability Is Finally Becoming Reality
Why It Matters: The Summit demonstrated real progress in breaking down data silos through FHIR-based solutions that improve collaboration across care settings. When information flows seamlessly between SNFs, hospitals, and home health providers, everyone benefits—especially patients navigating complex care journeys.
ActualMeds' Role: ActualMeds provides unprecedented interoperability by aligning and validating a patient’s medication lists from multiple sources (ambulatory care, acute care discharge, and LTPAC admission records) to identify discrepancies and ensure medication continuity during transitions of care.
2. AI Has Evolved from Buzzword to Backbone
Why It Matters: The conversation has definitively shifted from theoretical AI applications to practical implementation. PointClickCare showcased AI and machine learning tools that predict adverse health events like hospital readmissions or falls before they happen—a game-changer for long-term and post-acute care facilities where proactive intervention directly impacts outcomes, costs, and quality of life.
ActualMeds' Role: As part of this predictive care revolution, ActualMeds uses AI to reconcile longitudinal medication data across care transitions, identifying potential medication-related issues and gaps in care before they lead to adverse outcomes.
3. Ethical AI Implementation Takes Center Stage
Why It Matters: With AI's growing influence, the summit emphasized that ethics, transparency, and equity must be fundamental design elements—not afterthoughts. Robust discussions addressed algorithmic bias, accountability frameworks, and building trust in technology-driven healthcare decisions.
ActualMeds' Role: ActualMeds embodies responsible AI principles by delivering transparent medication reconciliation processes that providers can trust, with an evidence-based risk framework to support all medication-related recommendations.
4. Medication Reconciliation Reconfirmed as Ongoing Critical Safety Priority
Why It Matters: Transitions of care remain high-risk periods for medication errors. The summit highlighted how traditional medication transcription processes miss crucial details, potentially leading to adverse outcomes and unnecessary rehospitalizations.
ActualMeds' Impact: As the only solution capable of truly integrating historical medication data from claims, ActualMeds' Med Rec process, when compared to standard practice, identifies 40% more medication errors of omission that are a leading cause of hospital re-admissions.
5. Value-Based Care Requires Data-Driven Decision Making
Why It Matters: As healthcare continues shifting toward value-based care models, providers need robust data analytics to deliver high-quality, cost-effective care while navigating financial and operational challenges.
ActualMeds' Role: By reducing medication errors during transitions of care, ActualMeds directly supports value-based care initiatives through fewer adverse drug events, reduced re-hospitalizations, and improved patient outcomes.
Moving Forward with Tech-Enabled Services
For healthcare organizations looking to implement these innovations, the path forward is clear: seek partners with proven expertise in medication management across care transitions, invest in predictive analytics capabilities, and prioritize interoperable systems that enhance clinical decision-making.
As the PointClickCare Summit demonstrated, the future of healthcare lies at the intersection of advanced technology and clinical expertise—exactly where ActualMeds continues to lead.
