Hospitals & Health Systems

Every discharge you can’t follow up with is a readmission waiting to happen.

Linda reaches every patient within 48–72 hours of discharge — medications, instructions, concerning symptoms, follow-up appointments — and alerts your nurses to early signs of deterioration the same day, before they become a bounce-back.

Why it matters

Transition-of-care calls work — when they happen. Most teams can only reach a fraction of discharges, and the patients who slip through are the ones who return through the ED. Avoidable readmissions cost $52B a year and carry direct penalty exposure. Reaching 100% of discharges is a staffing problem Linda solves outright.

The economics

A hospital with 12K annual discharges typically unlocks $2.3–6M a year in prevented readmissions, protected penalties, and retained follow-up revenue.

Call workflows

Each program spells out the objective, who’s called and when, exactly what Linda covers, the triggers that raise an alert, and what your team gets back.

01

48–72 Hour Post-Discharge Follow-Up

Reach the patient within 2–3 days of discharge to confirm medications are in hand and understood, discharge instructions are clear, a follow-up appointment exists, and no concerning symptoms are present — alerting your nurses to early deterioration to prevent readmission.

Who / when: All discharges, or high-risk cohorts (heart failure, COPD, pneumonia, surgical), 24–72 hours post-discharge.

What Linda covers on the call

  • Identity verification and overall status since coming home
  • Medications obtained and taken as directed; confusion about critical meds (anticoagulants, insulin) flagged — never answered by AI
  • Understanding of discharge instructions: activity, diet, wound and equipment care
  • Diagnosis-specific symptom screening: HF weight gain/dyspnea/edema; COPD breathing and rescue-inhaler use; surgical fever, incision redness or drainage
  • Follow-up appointment confirmed or flagged for scheduling; transportation barriers captured
  • Reinforcement of self-monitoring and when to seek urgent care

When Linda alerts your team

Any diagnosis-specific warning sign (urgent alerts for decompensation patterns, enabling nurse outreach within the hour); inability to obtain or afford medications; a critical-medication question; no follow-up appointment for a clinically concerning patient. 911 guidance is given for emergencies.

What your team receives

Documented touchpoints on 100% of discharges, same-day nurse work queues sorted by urgency, and the readmission-prevention catches that pay for the program.

02

Follow-Up Appointment Confirmation & No-Show Prevention

Confirm post-discharge follow-up appointments, resolve the barriers that cause no-shows (transportation, timing, motivation), reschedule proactively, and book the never-scheduled — reducing the no-shows that drive readmissions and lost revenue.

Who / when: 1–3 days before a scheduled post-discharge follow-up; also patients discharged without a booked follow-up.

What Linda covers on the call

  • Confirm awareness of the appointment: date, time, provider, location
  • Verify the patient can attend and has reliable transportation; arrange ride-assist benefits where available
  • Capture visit needs: interpreter, records, an accompanying family member
  • Reschedule on the call or flag for your scheduling team when there’s a conflict
  • A brief symptom check — which regularly surfaces problems the patient was “not going to bother anyone about”

When Linda alerts your team

Any worsening symptom surfaced during the call (alerts your post-discharge nursing team); repeated inability to attend in a clinically urgent case (flagged for care coordination).

What your team receives

Lower no-show rates, retained follow-up revenue, and the double catch: averted no-shows that were actually early infections or decompensations.

What your team gets

Linda does the dialing; your people get the signal. Every program feeds the same four outputs.

Reports and alerts from every interaction

Every call becomes a clear report, and alerts flag the interactions that need staff follow-up — delivered instantly by SMS and email.

A complete profile for every patient or member

Their data (via CSV or API), full history of activity with Linda, every alert and report — plus a place for your staff to add notes.

A real-time dashboard with high-level KPIs

See Linda’s activity across your entire patient or member pool at a glance, and track the numbers that matter.

Full visibility into every program

View your active call programs, the questions each one covers, and the sequence strategy — number of attempts, time between calls, and calling approach.

The escalation promise

Linda is designed to catch what matters, not to replace clinical judgment. When a call surfaces a critical insight — a concerning symptom, a safety risk, a medication question, signs of crisis — your staff get an instant SMS and email alert so they can handle next steps, with the full call report available for context. On these calls, the alert is the success.

Every call program is reviewed and approved by your clinical and compliance teams before launch, and tailored to your protocols and populations.
