The Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) is the latest initiative from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to improve care coordination and outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries undergoing major surgical procedures. Repisodic is uniquely positioned to help hospitals thrive under this new model by enhancing discharge workflows through automation, improving post-acute care coordination, and driving better patient outcomes.

Automation powered technology can help health systems reduce length of stay, increase inpatient capacity, and improve patient outcomes.

Replacing legacy referral management systems with discharge automation technology will have a significant impact on the future of patient care transitions.

In the fast-evolving landscape of healthcare, the efficiency and quality of patient care transitions seem very much stuck in the past. The hospital discharge process is still bogged down by outdated legacy referral management software at many health systems, exacerbating ongoing length of stay and discharge delay issues across the industry.

In a significant move toward patient-centered care, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has mandated that hospitals reporting to the Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) program submit two brand new measures: SDOH-1 and SDOH-2. These measures are voluntary in 2023 and required in 2024.

The Covid-19 pandemic fundamentally challenged and changed the American health system, showing not just severe gaps and limitations in the care continuum but also tremendous opportunity, especially in case management. 

Repisodic powers incredible patient care transitions with automation to greatly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the discharge planning process, reduce the workload of healthcare professionals, and enhance the overall patient experience.

Using technology to automate time and labor intensive discharge workflows for complex patients can improve patient outcomes and reduce total cost of care.
