AIDA Healthcare, creators of Artificial Intelligence Discharge Agent (AIDA), a patent-pending, HIPAA-compliant software platform focused on helping patients, hospitals, health systems, and ACOs connect with all post-acute care providers and improve the patient transition process, announced the recent release of the AIDA Healthcare application in the Epic App Orchard.
The AIDA Healthcare app enables Epic customers to use SSO for user authentication and access the AIDA platform as an embedded interface within Epic. AIDA's app is one of the first to enable a file-less referral management workflow through Epic using APIs. This means that users do not have to upload or print patient records into the platform, saving time, increasing standardization, and reducing errors.
Enabling AIDA Healthcare to be embedded inside of Epic offers customers a more secure and efficient experience. Customers will appreciate being able to access all of AIDA Healthcare's tools and analytics without having to worry about multiple web browsers so that everything about a patient can be accessed from one place.
The AIDA Healthcare app enables a 100% API-driven patient records management interface so that referral management can be further optimized, and AIDA Healthcare can be used to monitor compliance with more complex value-based care policies through smart tools and enhanced analytics dashboards.
Some of AIDA's many benefits and features:

Care Provider Strategy - Refer to any provider type and expect a rapid, detailed response.
AIDA's platform provides access to all licensed post-acute providers including community-based, state-licensed and Medicaid-contracted providers. Basic access to referrals is always free for these providers. This includes all necessary data and features to respond to a referral. You can customize and standardize how providers can respond to your referrals.
AIDA Pro - Get access to data from the whole episode of care.
This is an optional service that enables post-acute providers the same discharge managements tools provided to acute hospitals. When post-acute providers use AIDA, it enables advanced reporting on post-acute activity and compliance to the hospitals who manage those patients and bundles.
"During my tenure as a provider, I have witnessed first-hand how patients are waiting in hospitals for days and months at a time. The disconnect between multiple providers types and data exchange process was obvious," says Julian Paraschiv, CEO, AIDA Healthcare.
"The best reward came shortly after we launched AIDA in 2018 and were able to help a patient leave the hospital, after waiting to find a provider for more than three years. This patient has given up on the idea of ever living in a home-like environment. With AIDA's automation process and matching algorithms, we were able to find a provider in 30 minutes. Helping this patient move out of the hospital and enjoy better quality of life is why AIDA exists.
This wouldn't be possible without the early support from local hospitals, community providers, and the very talented staff behind the AIDA platform."

AIDA was founded by a group of professionals with extensive background in hospital case management, post-acute care provider ownership, and HIPAA-compliant software development.
In 2017, the founders realized a significant gap in the healthcare marketplace between hospitals and post-acute care providers. It became clear that in many cases the best and sometimes only viable discharge option was placement to local, community-based, Medicaid-contracted providers. As more Hospitals and providers joined the platform, it was obvious that AIDA has the perfect position and necessary support to evolve into a multi-directional patient transition platform, connecting multiple types of post-acute care providers. With guidance and feedback from existing customers AIDA continues to grow, adding patented technology like PayerMatch, Episode of Care Manager and ProviderMatch - enabling patient-centered care and delivering better outcomes aligned with value-based care.
