Defining CRM and Its Role in Post-Acute Care Continuum

Jay, Vital Care: “CRM enables sales teams to build and maintain meaningful relationships while enhancing productivity and visibility. For Vital Care Infusion Services, Trella Health’s CRM acts as a memory aid to track referral preferences, key dates, and personal touches, fostering trust and care. With mobile access, reps can stay organized and informed, even on the go, boosting their ability to support patients and referral sources effectively.”

Trina, Choice Health at Home: “Trella’s CRM revolutionizes sales operations by offering clear visibility into daily schedules, streamlining workflows, and automating routine tasks. This ensures that reps can focus on relationship selling and productive patient and clinician interactions, remaining efficient and connected in a fast-paced, patient-centered environment.”

Using Trella CRM integrated with Power BI, the organization evaluates performance through four key metrics: calls, referrals, admissions, and conversion rates.

  • Daily Management: Reps log call types and outcomes, triggering follow-ups, while managers use a “rocket ship dashboard” for visibility.

  • Stack Ranking: Identifies top and underperforming reps, fostering team development.

This data-driven approach enhances decision-making, reduces administrative burdens, and boosts sales reps’ focus on high-value activities. Streamlined workflows have significantly improved efficiency, team performance, and operational clarity.
