## Startup Overview

This system parses discharge notes to secure post-acute care placements for departing hospital patients. It extracts clinical requirements directly from physician documentation and matches them to available beds in skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities. By automating the clinical review process, the software accelerates patient transitions out of acute care.

Hospital discharge planners traditionally rely on manual faxing or closed-network software like CarePort Health and naviHealth to find post-acute accommodations. These methods force staff to broadcast patient files and wait for facility responses, delaying transitions and tying up expensive hospital inventory.

The platform bypasses these bottlenecks by remaining entirely EHR-agnostic, extracting data across any hospital system without requiring specialized integration builds. The commercial model aligns directly with hospital throughput goals. Rather than charging software licensing fees, the service is outcome-priced based strictly on confirmed patient bed placements.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 30-day pilot on a single community hospital ward, ingesting standard HL7 feed drops to secure at least 50 confirmed skilled nursing facility bed holds with zero proprietary API development.
- A 60-day trial with a specialized care unit to test the fallback outreach sequence, proving the system automatically handles secondary network outreach for memory care patients until a bed is secured.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 1.5 to 2 days reduction in administrative discharge delays.
- Target: 85% first-batch acceptance rate for standard skilled nursing facility placements.
- Target: 3 hours of manual phone and fax follow-up eliminated per complex patient transfer.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Targeting a mid-sized community hospital case management department to demonstrate eliminating manual faxing and calling for skilled nursing facility placements, replacing it with automated preferred intake sheet formatting and outreach.
- Targeting a regional health system discharging complex patients to prove the routing engine correctly matches bariatric and ventilator-dependent requirements to specialized facilities, securing bed holds faster than manual outreach.
- Targeting an independent hospital case management team to validate that paying per confirmed bed placement reduces operational cost compared to employing dedicated placement coordinators.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Hospital Case Manager: A statement expressing relief that they no longer spend hours on hold with receiving facilities and instead only review pre-confirmed bed holds.
- VP of Care Coordination: A statement highlighting how the strictly confirmed-placement billing model removes adoption risk while reducing average length-of-stay metrics.
- Receiving Facility Admissions Coordinator: A statement praising how incoming placement requests arrive precisely in their required intake format, allowing them to approve transfers instantly.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Post-acute care facilities refuse to adopt an external placement platform outside of their existing fax workflows, breaking the outcome-based revenue model. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Hospital compliance teams block the export of raw discharge notes to a third-party parser due to PHI security and liability concerns. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Incumbents like CarePort Health leverage existing EHR marketplace integrations to lock hospitals into exclusive placement software contracts. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Outcome-based pricing causes severe cash flow delays because post-acute bed occupancies take weeks to verify for billing. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
