OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WellSky, a global health and community care technology and services company, today announced an expanded partnership with Google Cloud to embed advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities into WellSky CarePort solutions with a focus on improving the accuracy and reliability of provider directory data used in post-acute care discharge decisions.

Hospitals rely on provider directories—databases of healthcare providers and their locations and services—to guide discharge decisions. Keeping that information current as conditions and capabilities change rapidly is a persistent challenge. WellSky addresses this by embedding Google Cloud’s Vertex AI and Gemini models, along with BigQuery, to power its data infrastructure. As a result, WellSky CarePort solutions can continuously update provider data, reflecting real-time changes in services, insurance acceptance, and coverage area across post-acute providers. This helps hospitals and care teams identify appropriate referral options and match patients with post-acute providers based on real-time availability, services, and expertise.

The result is a more complete provider directory that not only reduces the need for manual verification but also serves as the foundation of a strong referral solution. When hospitals have access to accurate, up-to-date information, they can identify appropriate post-acute care options for patients.

“This marks a major industry shift, with healthcare moving beyond static directories to intelligent, continuously validated data,” said Bill Miller, chairman and CEO of WellSky. “By bringing together WellSky’s network and Google Cloud’s AI, we’re enabling hospitals to make smarter discharge decisions and strengthening outcomes for both providers and patients.”

Accurate provider profiles offer significant advantages for post-acute organizations by ensuring their services, coverage areas, and payer acceptance are consistently and correctly reflected, without requiring constant manual updates. Reducing the administrative burden on providers and better matching referrals to provider capabilities makes for better and more efficient referrals and transitions for everyone involved.

“Hospitals are looking for meaningful ways to apply AI that improve day-to-day operations and patient care,” said Aashima Gupta, global director, healthcare strategy & solutions, Google Cloud. “By partnering with WellSky, we’re applying AI in a practical, responsible way to support more efficient discharges and more reliable care transitions.”

WellSky will showcase these AI-powered capabilities at the ACMA National Conference, April 20-23, 2026, in Orlando, Florida, at booth 613. Attendees can learn how accurate provider intelligence supports improved throughput and care transition outcomes. Learn more at wellsky.com.
