Case Study: Ascension improves post-acute care transitions with PointClickCare PAC Management

Ascension reduces readmissions across 50-60 skilled nursing facilities with PointClickCare

Ascension, a major non-profit Catholic health system, faced challenges in tracking patients after discharge to post-acute care facilities. Their reliance on manual processes like phone calls and spreadsheets caused communication delays, and claims data lagged by months, making it impossible to identify high-risk patients needing intervention. To improve transitions and outcomes, Ascension turned to PointClickCare's PAC Management solution.

PointClickCare's PAC Management provided Ascension with real-time data exchange and connectivity to its network of skilled nursing facilities. The platform's proprietary machine learning model offered timely risk insights to proactively care for patients. This implementation enhanced collaboration, established new post-acute care pathways, and led to a reduction in hospital readmissions across the initial 50-60 facilities where it was deployed.
