ABOUT Healthcare Acquires Edgility: Streamlining Patient Flow with AI-Powered Care Orchestration

What You Should Know: 

– ABOUT Healthcare (ABOUT®), a leader in hospital operations solutions, has announced a strategic acquisition of Edgility, an AI and analytics platform company. This move signifies a significant leap forward in patient flow management, promising to optimize hospital operations and expedite patient care.

– ABOUT emphasizes that the combined platform offers the only end-to-end care orchestration solution in the market. This empowers healthcare systems to achieve their strategic goals for optimized patient flow and improved patient care.

Enhancing Care Orchestration with AI

The acquisition empowers ABOUT to integrate Edgility’s AI and analytics capabilities with their existing care orchestration technology. This creates a comprehensive “next-generation system-wide patient flow model.”  This model, spanning admission to discharge, aims to:

  • Enhance Patient Progression: By leveraging predictive and prescriptive analytics, healthcare organizations can make informed decisions about patient movement through the system.
  • Optimize Capacity: AI-driven decision support with clear visualizations will empower data-driven capacity management, ensuring hospitals can accommodate incoming patients efficiently.
  • Accelerate Discharge Velocity: The combined solution facilitates smoother transitions between care settings, leading to faster discharge times.

Command Center Strategies for Improved Operations

The integration of Edgility empowers ABOUT to offer a holistic solution that aligns with “command center strategies” within healthcare systems. This approach connects various operational aspects, including:

  • Transfers
  • Admission Management
  • Patient Flow
  • Daily Huddles
  • Discharges
  • Hospital-at-home programs
  • Referral Management (post-acute & behavioral health)

AI-Driven Efficiency and Reduced Errors

The combined offering from ABOUT and Edgility goes beyond data visualization. It leverages AI to automate and streamline complex healthcare tasks. This translates to:

  • Improved Efficiency: Streamlined workflows free up valuable time for healthcare professionals.
  • Reduced Errors and Delays: AI-powered insights minimize disruptions and delays in patient care.

“Our acquisition of Edgility completes a powerful new end-to-end care orchestration solution that connects people, data, workflows, and systems to improve outcomes and enable better coordinated care,” said Jonathan Shoemaker, CEO of ABOUT. “Health systems can now derive deep situational awareness and decision support across the patient progression at the individual and system levels, removing friction points and natural delays, ultimately improving coordination at each step of the patient journey.”
