See what the market has to say about Flax Health

Integration failures

"We noticed that Flax wasn't syncing our referrals from CarePort and AIDA in a timely manner. We had already answered on CarePort, accepted the patient, but on Flax, the referral hadn't even shown up as a new referral. It was just taking forever."
Admissions Leader, Single-Facility SNF

Lack of clinical accuracy

"Flax will usually catch things every once in a while, but typically it's us — one of us 3 or 4 — that are reviewing those documents to try and get that caught up. Sometimes it picks up a lot of things that are in there, like ventilator — it's just mentioned on there, and so it tells us to reject because they have a ventilator when they don't."
Administrator, Single-Facility SNF

Implementation difficulties

"I think they took on more than they could chew. They're a startup and their team is too small."
VP, Multi-Facility SNF
