Built for Hospitals Navigating TEAM and Beyond
Outperform bundled payment targets, reduce readmissions, and improve post-acute coordination without new hires or workflow disruptions.
Post-Acute
Care Challenges Rising
Hospitals across the country are facing unprecedented pressure, including:
CMS-mandated participation in TEAM, with strict timelines and complex reporting requirements
Overburdened case managers, often managing 30-40+ patients per nurse
Limited visibility into post-discharge performance, length-of-stay (LOS) variation, and discharge disposition
Manual workflows and underdeveloped analytics infrastructure
Full episode risk, including skilled nursing, inpatient rehab, home health aide (HHA), outpatient care, and readmissions
Misaligned incentives between hospitals, post-acute care (PAC) teams, and surgical teams
Fragmented post-acute networks and wide variation in cost and outcomes
High-stakes financial penalties tied to compliance and performance shortfalls
Siloed communication across inpatient, outpatient, and post-acute teams
