For Skilled Nursing Facilities
Optimized dispatch for post-acute and SNF-at-home programs
SNFs that run mobile clinical teams, SNF-at-home pilots, or active transition-out-to-home navigation share the same dispatch problem as hospital-at-home programs. Capillary Health is built to solve it.
Three workflows SNF leadership plugs into
SNF-at-home programs
Some skilled nursing care can be safely delivered in a patient's home. SNF-at-home and SNF-substitute programs require dispatched home visits from RNs, PTs, OTs, and SLPs on a structured schedule, with documentation that maps to MDS reporting requirements. Capillary Health is the dispatch layer that holds that structure.
Mobile clinical teams across SNFs
SNFists, mobile primary care, and behavioral health teams that round across multiple SNFs face the same routing and continuity problem as home-based programs. The patients are inside facilities rather than houses; the optimization is otherwise identical. Workload balance and continuity across rounds matter as much here as anywhere.
Transition-out-to-home navigation
When a SNF discharges a patient home, a structured handoff to home-based care prevents readmission. The discharge encounter triggers a referral to home health or a CHW visit; Capillary Health dispatches the receiving visit and reports the outcome back to the SNF and to the ordering hospital. The closed-loop referral architecture applies directly.
What SNF teams actually plug into
SNFs do not need to rebuild their EHR or their MDS workflow. The dispatch layer sits next to the existing care coordination workflow, takes the visit list (CSV upload at first, EHR integration later), and produces routes for the clinicians on shift. The documentation flows back to the SNF's system and, where applicable, to the referring hospital or health plan.
- Operating a SNF-at-home or SNF-substitute pilot under a CMS or commercial waiver
- Running a mobile clinical team that rounds across multiple SNFs
- Discharging meaningful volume to home with structured follow-up requirements
- Care management responsibilities for patients across post-acute settings
- Currently using spreadsheets or whiteboards to coordinate visit assignments
- Need outcome documentation that flows back to the referring hospital or health plan
