Notes

"Bed-days recovered" assumes SeniorIQ closes placement at least 1 day faster than the current scramble for the ~80% of senior discharges that are private-pay or LTCI.

Readmission reduction is the SeniorIQ-attributable share of the discharge cohort, not the entire hospital readmit rate.

Numbers are estimates for planning conversations. Actual savings depend on your DRG mix, regional Medicare baseline, and the proportion of seniors with private-pay or LTCI funding.

SeniorIQ does not place Medicare or Medicaid patients (federal Anti-Kickback Statute safe harbor); those are routed to a separately licensed agency at no cost.
