Built for post-acute andrehabilitation facilitiesbridging hospital to home
From inpatient rehabilitation facilities to outpatient therapy networks — we build custom AI systems that understand functional outcome measure tracking, Medicare medical necessity documentation, discharge coordination, and the complex care transitions that define post-acute operations.
THE PAIN WE HEAR MOST OFTEN
WHAT METRICOID SOLVES
Operational challenges uniqueto post-acute & rehaborganizations
Generic healthcare software wasn't built for your world. Every challenge below requires a solution that understands your specific workflows, compliance requirements, and payer rules.
Discharge planning under time pressure
IRF and SNF discharge planning requires coordinating documentation, family communication, home health referrals, DME orders, and outpatient follow-up — often within 24–48 hours of a discharge decision. Manual processes create coordination failures that generate readmissions.
Daily Medicare medical necessity
Inpatient rehabilitation Medicare payment requires documentation that the patient requires and is benefiting from intensive therapy daily — not just at admission. Missing or insufficient daily necessity documentation triggers payment denial retroactively.
Functional outcome measure tracking
IRF and outpatient rehab track patient progress using validated measures — FIM, DASH, OPTIMAL, Oswestry, Berg Balance. Manual tracking across a large patient census is error-prone and makes outcome reporting to payers and accreditors labor-intensive.
Care transition coordination failures
The transition from hospital to IRF to home health to outpatient creates multiple handoff points where critical information — medication lists, functional status, social support — gets lost or delayed.
Payer concurrent review documentation
Commercial payers and Medicare Advantage plans require concurrent review documentation during inpatient stays — demonstrating ongoing medical necessity and therapeutic progress to prevent mid-stay denials.
Outpatient therapy Medicare cap management
Outpatient therapy faces Medicare therapy cap complexities and KX modifier requirements. Documentation must explicitly justify continued treatment beyond cap thresholds.
Custom systems builtspecifically for post-acute & rehab
AI Clinical Documentation
FIM scoring extracted from therapy notes automatically. Daily Medicare necessity documentation generated from clinical activity. Discharge summaries assembled from the full inpatient record. Concurrent review documentation built from clinical progress notes.
Predictive Analytics
30-day readmission risk scored for every patient using clinical indicators, functional progress, and social determinants. High-risk patients flagged for intensified follow-up before discharge. Outcome tracking benchmarked against national IRF and PAC data.
Workflow Integration
Hospital referral intake, care planning, therapy scheduling, and discharge coordination connected into one system. Outpatient follow-up scheduling integrated with inpatient discharge planning. Payer concurrent review workflow automated.
EHR & Payer Integration
Integration with WellSky, MatrixCare, and IRF-specific EHRs. FHIR connectivity for hospital discharge data ingestion. Payer portal integration for concurrent review submission and authorization tracking.
Readmission rate reduced 31%. Medicaremedical necessity denials eliminated.Discharge planning time cut by half.
THE CHALLENGE
A 120-bed IRF was experiencing a 22% 30-day readmission rate — above the national average and triggering Medicare value-based purchasing penalties. Daily medical necessity documentation was inconsistent across the therapy team, generating retroactive Medicare denials. Discharge planning was chaotic — coordinators had no unified view of patient status, pending orders, or post-acute arrangements.
WHAT METRICOID BUILT
We went from reacting to readmissions to preventing them. The system identifies patients who are going to struggle at home before we discharge them. Our quality scores have improved every quarter since implementation.
Reduction in 30-day readmission rate — below national IRF benchmark
Retroactive Medicare medical necessity denials post-implementation
Discharge planning time reduced — coordinators freed for complex cases
FIM outcome tracking from therapy notes — no separate scoring sessions
