Follow-up care built around the discharge list

Readmissions often start with a follow-up that never happened. Hoss Care puts each discharge on a care team's list, documents each contact during the call, and keeps the record inside the EHR your system already runs.

The problem

What gets in the way after discharge.

Follow-up across a health system fails in the gaps between departments.

  • Readmissions that were preventable

    A patient goes home, the follow-up call slips, and the same patient is back in a bed within the month.

    In practiceThe discharge summary is in the chart, but nobody owned the call on day two.

  • Thousands of patients, no single list

    Long-term conditions across a whole system are tracked in spreadsheets and inboxes, so the patients who need a call this week are hard to find.

    In practiceA case manager exports a report on Monday that is already out of date by Tuesday.

  • Data split across departments

    Cardiology, primary care, and the discharge team each see a piece of the patient, and nobody sees the whole picture.

    In practiceA medication change in one clinic is not visible to the nurse making the follow-up call.

  • Handoffs that do not land

    Discharge instructions are given once, at the bedside, and rarely confirmed after the patient is home.

    In practiceThe patient could not read the printout, and there was no second contact to catch it.

How Hoss Care helps

One follow-up workflow across a health system.

Built for the size of a hospital, not clinic software stretched to fit. AI assistance suggests and flags; your care teams review and act.

  • One workflow across every department

    Roll out the same follow-up workflow across service lines, with one dashboard and access set by role.

    In practiceA nurse in cardiology and a case manager in primary care work the same list from the same record.

    • Epic
    • Oracle Health
    • Care team
  • Every discharge on a follow-up list

    A contact soon after the patient gets home, a follow-up visit booked, and the handoff documented from the first call.

    In practiceThe follow-up call is on the right person's list the morning after discharge, with the discharge summary attached.

    • Discharge
    • Follow-ups
    • Documentation
  • See who needs attention this week

    Patient lists sorted by risk, so the team calls the patients most likely to come back before they do.

    In practiceMonday's list shows which patients discharged last week have not checked in yet.

    • Readmissions
    • Quality measures
    • Care coordination
