Human-Centered Tech for Human-Centered Healthcare

One care journey. Three torn systems.

Cohezon. A Care Continuum platform built to connect what no single EHR can: hospitals, post-acute providers, primary care, and the patients moving between them.

Founded by healthcare leaders and independently funded by angels from both the payor and provider side. Active RN case managers were with us before we wrote a single line of code.

Care Transition

23.3%

Return to the hospital, or worse1

A 2014 JAMA study of Medicare patients found nearly one in four discharged to a skilled nursing facility were readmitted or died within 30 days.

Care Coordination

$4,500

Higher cost per fragmented patient2

Chronically ill patients whose care is scattered across providers cost thousands more and hit more quality gaps.

2 - Frandsen et al., American Journal of Managed Care, 2015.

Patient Navigation

60%

Understand their post-discharge plan3

Only three in five patients grasp what happens after they leave. The rest are guessing. And that doesn't bode well for anyone.

3 - Horwitz et al., JAMA Internal Medicine, 2013 

Today's tools each only fix one slice.

Every tool here owns one piece of the handoff. EHRs document inside a single organization. Referral platforms shuttle packets between inboxes. Navigation apps hand patients information with no clinical context.

The patient moves through all of them.

Separate tools can’t share a patient.

Every care transition crosses organizations. When each one runs its own tool, every handoff becomes a copy (a fax, a retyped referral, a printed list) that’s out of date the moment it’s made. Separate tools can be connected. They can’t be made to agree.

Cohezon is built around the patient instead. The family, the case manager and the next provider work from the same information, so a change made once reaches everyone. Hospitals free beds sooner, providers get patients they’re ready for, plans keep members in network, and families make a choice they understand.

Put the patient at the center, and everyone comes out ahead.

RN case managers and post-acute design partners have shaped Cohezon from the first sketch.

DiMe

"It is rare to find partners who are as clear-eyed about the realities of healthcare, and who are thinking creatively about what it will actually take to meet patient and clinician needs."

— Digital Medicine Society (DiMe)

Design Partners

10 post-acute organizations signed as design partners across skilled nursing, home health, home care, hospice, and senior placement agencies.

From the field

"Dina:Clear is an innovative tool that helps patients discover nearby facilities like ours that they might otherwise miss and reduces avoidable bed days by revealing these 'hidden gems.'"
