Vent360+: A Game-Changing Partnership Between Trace Medical and Encore Healthcare
When your patients rely on ventilators, you need more than equipment. You need confidence that every device is compliant, every outcome is tracked, and every patient is supported from hospital to home.
Trace Medical, the nation’s trusted partner in ventilator rentals, has joined forces with Encore Healthcare to launch Vent360+, an industry-first solution that combines reliable ventilator rentals with comprehensive outcomes management.
If you’re a healthcare provider, discharge planner, or DME leader navigating tight margins, new reimbursement rules, and higher expectations for patient outcomes, Vent360+ is built for you.
CMS Finalizes Coverage for Home NIV, Demand Is Growing
Earlier this year, CMS published its final National Coverage Determination (NCD) for noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in the home for chronic respiratory failure due to COPD. This updated policy broadens access to more patients needing advanced home ventilation, a win for patients and providers alike.
But with expanded coverage comes new responsibility: providers must show medical necessity, track therapy effectiveness, and manage larger equipment volumes as demand for NIV increases.
This is exactly why Vent360+ matters right now.
What Is Vent360+?
Vent360+ is a partnership program between Trace Medical and Encore Healthcare that combines:
Ready-to-ship ventilator rentals, fully serviced and compliance-ready
Encore Healthcare’s proven outcomes management platform to monitor therapy and prove patient benefit
It’s not just about getting equipment to patients faster; it’s about supporting every step of the hospital-to-home journey with the data, reporting, and clinical support today’s payers require.
What Makes Vent360+ Different?
Here’s what sets Vent360+ apart from traditional rental options or simple service contracts:
1. A Flexible, Biomedical-Serviced Ventilator Fleet
Each unit is:
Fully calibrated, tested, and documented to meet manufacturer standards and accreditation requirements.
Backed by Trace Medical’s responsive support and nationwide reach.
Ready to deploy when your patients need it, no delays.
2. Smart Rental Programs That Protect Your Budget
Instead of tying up capital in owned equipment during a time of changing rules, Vent360+ lets you:
Scale your ventilator fleet up or down as demand shifts.
Avoid the burden of storing and maintaining excess inventory.
Eliminate the risk of owning obsolete equipment if reimbursement structures change again.
3. Proven Outcomes Management with Encore Healthcare
Encore’s outcomes model works hand-in-hand with the rental program by:
Tracking patient adherence and therapy data in real time.
Delivering actionable reports that help you meet CMS’s medical necessity documentation requirements.
Providing care teams with insights that can reduce hospital readmissions and strengthen referral relationships.
Who Benefits From Vent360+?
Vent360+ is purpose-built for:
Hospitals and discharge planners who need faster ventilator setups for safe, timely patient discharges.
DME providers and HME leaders who need to protect cash flow while expanding respiratory care services.
Home health and respiratory therapists who want compliant equipment and measurable outcomes to share with payers.
How the Final NCD Makes This Solution Timely
The new CMS NCD for NIV means:
More patients qualify for home noninvasive ventilation.
Providers will serve a larger respiratory population, often with more complex needs.
Outcomes tracking is no longer a bonus; it’s a requirement to maintain compliance and prove medical necessity.
Vent360+ bridges this gap by pairing on-demand ventilator access with built-in therapy monitoring and reporting, so your team is ready for what’s next.
