Your EHR ends at the parking lot. Your readmissions don't.
Under HRRP, Medicare withholds up to 3% of inpatient payments for excess readmissions — and the drivers live outside your walls, where clinical systems can't see. Variate adds the field layer: the neighborhoods your discharges go home to, and which ones can't support recovery.
Three problems, one blind spot.
Every excess readmission compounds
Roughly $17,700 in direct cost per readmission (AHRQ HCUP) — before HRRP multiplies the damage across your entire Medicare book.
The drivers aren't in the chart
Transportation, housing, distance to pharmacy, who's home to help — the forces that bounce a patient back live in the field, where clinical systems can't see.
Nothing you own builds the list
Care-transition software works the list you already have. Your stack has nothing that builds the list from the field — that layer doesn't exist in it.
We don't promise a percentage. We show you the field.
The engine composites 200+ federal health variables into precision maps of the neighborhoods your discharges go home to — which geographies can't support recovery, and where your field teams should be. It sharpens the discharges you miss. Live in 30 days, no EHR integration, in production on Google Cloud under a signed BAA.
Straight to the founder. Name your market — the first map you see will be the neighborhoods your discharges actually go home to.
If readmission penalties are on your board agenda, this is the move.
