SNF patients are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge2

The Problem

The 30-day window
has no technology layer.

SNFs invest heavily in in-facility care. The moment a resident goes home, the connection breaks — and readmissions follow.

25%
Readmitted within 30 days
One in four SNF patients returns to the hospital within a month of discharge. Many are potentially preventable with timely outreach and early concern detection. (Mor et al., Health Affairs, 2010)
2%
VBP penalty on Medicare revenue
CMS withholds up to 2% of Medicare reimbursement from high-readmission facilities. For a mid-sized building that's $18,000–$40,000 per year at risk.

Attributed satisfaction data today
Postal mail CoreQ surveys arrive weeks late and unattributed. Leadership sees averages — not which residents were dissatisfied, which staff need coaching, or which buildings are trending down.
The Platform

Four surfaces.
One connected workflow.

TCIQ connects the discharge coordinator, the AI agent in the field, CoreQ satisfaction collection, and leadership in the dashboard — from a single FHIR integration with your facility's EHR.

Discharge Workflow
A 6-step education workflow auto-generated from the resident's EHR via FHIR. Diagnoses, medications, warning signs, and family contacts pre-populated. TCPA consent and outreach preference captured before the resident leaves.
AI Post-Discharge Outreach Agent
Automated clinical check-ins via voice at 48 hours and 7 days post-discharge — using the facility's own caller ID. Conversations stay within clinically-reviewed bounds for reliable, structured data, and concerns route to your designated escalation contact in real time.
CoreQ Satisfaction Survey
NQF-endorsed CoreQ Short Stay Discharge questions administered via AI agent at 14 days post-discharge. Fully attributed to named residents. Results uploaded to AHCA LTC Trend Tracker automatically. Replaces postal mail survey vendors.
NQF Endorsed · LTC Trend Tracker
Leadership Analytics Dashboard
VBP exposure, readmission trends, education compliance, AI follow-up rates, and CoreQ satisfaction scores — at the building level and across the regional network. Role-separated views for DONs and regional operators with HIPAA audit logging.

CoreQ Satisfaction Surveys

Replace your postal mail
vendor — with attribution.

TCIQ collects NQF-endorsed CoreQ Short Stay Discharge questions via AI agent at 14 days post-discharge. Fully attributed. Real-time. Uploaded to AHCA LTC Trend Tracker automatically.

Results in days, not weeks
Postal mail surveys take 3–4 weeks to arrive and process. TCIQ collects CoreQ responses at 14 days post-discharge and surfaces results in the leadership dashboard immediately — while there's still time to act on them.
Full attribution — every response named
Every CoreQ response is attributed to a named resident, discharge date, discharge coordinator, and building. Leadership can identify patterns, coach staff, and address concerns — not just read aggregate averages.
Designed for higher response rates
AI-powered voice outreach using the facility's own caller ID is designed to outperform postal mail return rates, with families primed during the discharge education session to expect the follow-up.
LTC Trend Tracker upload included
TCIQ uploads CoreQ results to AHCA's LTC Trend Tracker on behalf of participating facilities — the same destination your current vendor uses, with better data and faster turnaround.

Postal-based CoreQ vendors collect satisfaction data through mailed paper surveys — a process measured in weeks, with manual data entry and batch reporting before a facility sees a single result. TCIQ delivers structured responses to your dashboard in real time.

How It Works

From discharge to
30-day follow-up.

A single workflow that requires no new staff hires and adds less than 15 minutes to the existing discharge process.

Step 01
Discharge Education
An ADT discharge event in your EHR triggers the TCIQ discharge workflow. Conditions, medications, warning signs, and family contacts are auto-populated from the resident's EHR via FHIR. TCPA consent and family contact preference — SMS, voice, or both — are captured before the resident leaves the building.
Step 02
AI Outreach + CoreQ
TCIQ places AI clinical check-in calls at 48 hours and 7 days post-discharge, then a separate CoreQ Short Stay Discharge satisfaction survey call at 14 days — three separate calls, each using the facility's own caller ID. Concern flags route to the designated escalation contact in real time. No new staff required.
Step 03
Review, Documentation & Reporting
Clinical concerns surface in the TCIQ dashboard for review. Staff push notes to your EHR under their own credentials. CoreQ scores are attributed to named residents and uploaded to AHCA LTC Trend Tracker automatically. Leadership sees readmission trends, VBP exposure, and satisfaction scores in one real-time dashboard.
Technical Foundation

EHR-Agnostic. FHIR-Native.

TCIQ connects to your facility's EHR via HL7 FHIR — the open standard adopted by all major SNF platforms. ADT discharge events trigger the workflow automatically. No manual data entry, no duplicate charting, no proprietary lock-in.

TCIQ is built as a Provider-facing and Bulk SMART on FHIR application targeting the USCDI v1 data set — the open standard adopted by all major SNF EHR platforms. Infrastructure runs on HIPAA-eligible Microsoft Azure with database-per-tenant isolation, customer-managed encryption keys, and 6-year audit log retention. PointClickCare integration is live, built on vendor-agnostic HL7 FHIR designed to extend to additional SNF EHR platforms.
