Venture Summary
“The current process for transition of care from the hospital to post acute care often results in adverse events, high rates of readmission and increased costs for hospitals, patients and insurance providers. Around 20-30% of patients are readmitted within 30 days, creating $41.3 billion in poor transfer-of-care costs nationally.
The RE-Assist technology is a digital platform to replace the paper list directory that forms a governance around the manual transition process. RE-Assist will decrease mis-messaging by providing transparency to clearly communicate service deliverables to the case manager, patient and the service provider. At the back end, the RE-Assist platform will uniquely allow the collection of key data analytics to improve the overall transition process.”
