Case Study: Jefferson Health saves $570,000 and improves patient throughput with Dina PAC Bed Availability

Jefferson Health saves $570,000 with Dina

The customer, Jefferson Health, faced significant challenges during the pandemic with patient throughput. Their case managers spent hours calling facilities to find post-acute care bed availability, especially for COVID-19 patients. To improve this process and ensure timely, appropriate placements, they worked with the vendor Dina to implement its PAC Bed Availability product.

Dina's solution automated the bed availability process by using text-message-based surveys sent to network partners. This provided Jefferson Health with real-time data and daily dashboards, saving their staff hours of manual work. The results were substantial, including a reduced patient length of stay and an estimated savings of $570,000 across three hospitals.
