For discharge and transitional care programs

The first weeks after discharge, where your transition team can see them.

For hospital transition teams, transitional care programs, post-acute and discharge services and care-transition nurses. The family records the discharge date, the medications with every dose change, the doses given or missed and the readings typed at home. Your team sees its first contact after discharge in business days, alerts against your own targets, and every patient in the program on one panel.

30 minutes on Zoom with our founder. Nothing to prepare.

The gap

The patient goes home. The picture your team needs stays behind.

The discharge date lives somewhere else

The day the patient went home is in the hospital's system, not in front of the team that has to call. The first follow-up depends on someone remembering.

The medication list changed on the way out

A dose went up, a new one started, an old one stopped. The family goes home with a printout, and the next person to see the patient may not know what changed or who ordered it.

The first weeks at home are quiet until they are not

A blood pressure creeping up, a missed evening dose or a fall reaches the team only if the family calls, and nothing is written down in one place.

The family is left to run the handoff

Appointments, call-backs, pharmacy runs and what the nurse said on the phone all land on one family member, one call at a time.

The first days home

The discharge date, the first contact after it, and what each call decided.

ExpressAgain runs in the web browser on a phone, tablet or computer; there is nothing to install. Enroll the patient by email or text, the family accepts, and the record starts where the hospital stay ended.

  • Admission and discharge dates on the record

    On the Care Team page, Log a call or visit lets the family record a hospital admission and the discharge date, an emergency room or urgent care visit, or the EMT coming out, with the day, the time and who was involved. Your clinicians log the same encounters on the care dashboard. A typed discharge shows who typed it.

    Log a call or visit →
  • The first contact after discharge, in business days

    The Billing support report runs the transitional care checks: the discharge on record and where it came from, "Contact within 2 business days of discharge", and the visit within 7 or 14 days, each met or not yet. A contact is the first team feed post, clinical note, time entry or logged call or visit after the discharge day. Weekends are skipped; the app has no holiday calendar.

    Billing support →
  • The result of every call

    A logged call carries what the nurse or doctor said to do: Appointment scheduled, Go to the ER, Go to urgent care, Call back after checking something (like blood pressure), Medication change, or Advice given, no follow-up needed. The result is what your clinician said; the app never gives advice.

    Log a call or visit →
  • The follow-up visit on the calendar

    When the family logs a call whose result is Appointment scheduled, with the day, the time, the doctor and the address, the visit goes on the patient's Appointments and Schedule by itself. A time that is already taken is never double-booked; the family is told what holds it.

    Appointments →
  • Coming Home, for the family

    Checklists that help the family walk into the discharge conversation ready, and the therapy team's home recommendations filed by category, each marked Done, In progress or Need help. Every list is a prompt to confirm with the patient's care team.

Medications at home

The new orders, the doses due, and who gave each one.

The medication list the family keeps, with every change the doctor ordered, and a dose log the whole care team reads.

  • The medication list with its dose history

    Each medication keeps every change the doctor ordered: started, increased, decreased, changed, paused, resumed or stopped, the day it starts, the dose before and after, and who ordered it. Every recorded change is a line on the team feed. A physician, nurse, hospice or palliative login can record a change from the Medications tab. The app records what was ordered; it does not check or suggest doses.

    Prescriptions and the dose history →
  • Scheduled doses and the dose-due pop-up

    Each medication can carry its times from the label. When a set of doses is due, a pop-up asks whoever logs doses, naming each medication, its strength and how much: Given now, Given earlier, or Given, Skipped or Refused one by one. If the window closes with the set not logged, it asks again and offers Mark as missed.

    Medication schedules and the dose-due reminder →
  • Given, skipped, refused or missed

    Every dose logged by the family, a Home Team professional or your clinicians carries who logged it and when. The Medications report counts given, skipped, refused, late and missed doses, with a Dose changes section, and the weekly home summary carries the same count.

Readings and alerts

Readings typed at home, checked against your clinicians' own targets.

Readings are typed by people, never sent by a device. Your team sets the targets, and a reading outside them reaches your clinicians as one plain line.

  • Home readings, typed by the family

    Blood pressure and pulse, glucose before and after meals, temperature, oxygen, weight, symptoms such as a fall, swelling or nausea, sleep and meals. Readings are typed by the family, a Home Team professional or your clinicians, and every entry carries who logged it. The chart records and displays; it never judges a value.

    Health Tracking →
  • Your clinicians' own targets

    The family types the ranges and when-to-call instructions your team gave them, and a clinician on the care team can update them from the Care targets tab. Each group shows who changed it last and when, for example Updated by Dr. Sample, and the change is a line on the team feed.

    Targets, when to call, and care alerts →
  • Care alerts

    Every reading becomes one plain line for your clinicians, such as Glucose, breakfast before, above target, and a reading outside the targets goes out at once. The rule is your numbers; a care alert is not a diagnosis. Texts say only that a new alert needs a look, with no values.

    Targets and care alerts →
  • Acknowledging and escalation

    Your team acknowledges flagged alerts on Feed and alerts. Set an escalation window in minutes for each location: when a flagged alert waits longer without an acknowledgment, the primary and covering providers are emailed.

What your program gets

Every patient in the program, on one panel your team can read.

All of it is live today, except where a line says it waits on a vendor, on activation or on a signed BAA.

  • The organization panel

    Every patient in the program on one screen: last reading, open alerts and how old they are, unread feed and enrollment status. Tap a row to open that patient's whole dashboard, and the bell counts what is new.

    The organization panel →
  • Enrolling a patient

    Enroll a patient by email or text; the message names your organization, never the patient, and the family accepts. Add covering colleagues or a coordinator, resend while it waits, and see the program's patients in one list.

    Enrolling patients and coverage →
  • Preview before the agreement

    Before the agreement is signed, your organization is in preview: providers see the patients whose families added them, and a few patients can be enrolled to see how it works. When that runs out, Book a call takes its place.

    Preview and signed organizations →
  • Archive, with a reason

    When a patient leaves the program, Archive asks why: moved to another facility, discharged from the program, passed away, the family ended it, or another reason with a note. It ends the enrollment and every access, and the patient stays under Archived with the reason and the date.

    The organization panel →
  • The IDC Team feed

    The Care Team's own conversation: every discipline and the family post and pin, with a row for each reading, dose and dose change logged, with initials and the time. Clinicians leave notes the family reads.

    The IDC Team feed →
  • Reports and the weekly home summary

    Vitals and glucose, medications, symptoms and alerts, the visit flow sheet and a weekly home summary. 7, 30 or 90 days, Print and CSV, the same report the family reads.

    Health reports →
  • Billing support, as documentation

    When your package includes Billing-ready exports, the monthly report documents the time your clinical team logs, the contacts, consent and the transitional care checks, with Print and CSV. It never picks a code, and every figure is labelled an estimate. Estimate only. What's paid depends on your payers, your documentation and each claim.

    Billing support →
  • Chart records, from the family's portal

    Chart records come from the family's own patient-portal connection (Epic MyChart, eClinicalWorks healow), read-only, and nothing is written back to your chart. The connections are built; each one activates as the vendor approves the app.

    Doctor's Records →
  • The Partner API and HL7

    The Partner API reads what families shared with your organization and pushes readings and documents back, with every call logged; keys are issued after a signed BAA. The HL7 v2 feed is built and pending activation.

Outcomes

Built for fewer missed follow-ups, medications given as ordered, and problems at home seen sooner.

  • Fewer missed follow-ups after discharge

    The discharge date on the record, and the first contact after it

    The family or your team types the discharge date, and the Billing support report shows your team's first contact after it, counted in business days, with a link to the place that fixes a check not yet met.

    Billing support →
  • Medications given as the new orders say

    Every dose change the doctor ordered, and a dose-due pop-up

    Each medication keeps its history: started, increased, decreased, paused or stopped, the day it starts and who ordered it. When a set of doses is due, a pop-up asks whoever logs doses, and a scheduled dose nobody logged counts as missed in the Medications report.

    Prescriptions and the dose history →
  • Problems at home seen sooner

    Readings against your own targets, care alerts and escalation

    Readings typed at home are compared with the targets your clinicians set. A reading outside them goes out to your clinical logins at once, and a flagged alert nobody acknowledges within your escalation window goes to the primary and covering providers.

    Targets and care alerts →
  • A family that knows what happens next

    The result of every call, and the appointment on the calendar

    When the family logs a call, they write down what the clinician said to do: an appointment scheduled, go to the ER, call back after checking blood pressure. An appointment the family logs goes on the patient's Appointments by itself, unless that time is already taken, and Coming Home walks the family into the discharge conversation ready.

  • Department License

    The department keeps going after the pilot, under its own license.

  • Hospital Enterprise License

    Every department in the hospital, under one license.

  • Health System Agreement

    Several hospitals and departments under one agreement.

  • Integration

    EHR, HL7, FHIR, single sign-on or custom work, scoped per agreement.

Discharge program pricing is set with each program on a call; it is not published.

How a pilot works

From a demo to your first patients enrolled.

  1. A 30-minute demo

    We walk through the discharge date on the record, the first contact after it, the medications and dose history, readings against your targets, care alerts and the program's panel.

  2. Scope a six-month pilot in one program

    Pick one program: a transition team, a transitional care clinic, a post-acute service or a readmission-reduction program. Agree the patient capacity and scope together, then sign the agreement. We sign a Business Associate Agreement with partner organizations once our vendor agreements are complete; that is in progress now, so ask us for the timeline.

  3. We set up your organization and train the program

    Our team creates your organization and adds the first person, in whatever role fits. We train the program's team; once the agreement is signed, your administrators invite their own clinicians, and the program enrolls patients by email or text.

  4. Grow from the pilot

    From the pilot into a department license, a hospital-wide license or a health-system agreement across several hospitals and departments.

Why we built it

I built ExpressAgain for my mother, Debbie. Five lesions on the left side of her brain took her speech, not her mind. She still has so much to say — now she has the tools to say it.

One team, one plan

Built for the interdisciplinary care team

An interdisciplinary care team is a group of different health professionals who work together closely with the patient and family to create a single, shared treatment plan. ExpressAgain is the platform where all of those parties care for one patient together: the same day, the same medications, the same notes, and the same record of who did what and when.
