GEHRIMED is a complete, cloud-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) and practice management solution tailored for clinicians in the Long-Term/Post-Acute Care (LTPAC) setting, such as skilled nursing facilities and assisted living communities. Originally developed by Geriatric Practice Management (GPM) and acquired by Netsmart in 2021, the software is engineered to support the unique workflows of mobile practitioners who often work without dedicated administrative staff.
