Patient Net™ is a hospital discharge optimization tool that immediately finds beds in local extended care facilities and finds services at other resources, then manages the patient discharge process to those resources.

Stress Saver: Patient Net is a complete, fast and cost effective solution that immediately locates the most appropriate extended care facility/resource for your patient. It helps you transmit bed or service requests, helps negotiate the acceptance of your patient,  lets you request transportation, assists in discharging the patient, notifies the facility when the patient is discharged, and lets you know when the patient has arrived.

Cost Saver: Patient Net can save you thousands of dollars each month and tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars a year of un-reimbursable avoidable stay days.

Use it anywhere: Patient Net can be used on any workstation or laptop equipped with a Microsoft Internet browser that has Internet access. Any Internet-enabled workstation or laptop in a hospital can be used, allowing querying and updates from any floor in the hospital.
