✨ We’re proud to welcome Akssi TM , the structured operating layer for hospice decision protection by BUDS Technology, as a GHPCO Premium Affiliate Member! ✨

Akssi TM was built to help hospice organizations grow with confidence by staying ahead of rising risk, operational complexity, and financial exposure. With increased audit pressure (PPEO, TPE, ADRs), Akssi TM knows the risk isn’t just in
documentation gaps, it’s whether your clinical decisions are fully defensible when
reviewed.

That’s where Akssi™ Audit-Scan and Akssi™ Recert-Assist are different. Together they help review 100% of charts automatically, flag gaps before claims are submitted, improve defensibility of recertifications, while saving hours per clinician per week and reducing risk of denials.

We’re excited to partner with innovators like Akssi TM who are helping hospice organizations realize the true promise of hospice care.
