Preventable avoidable readmissions.
MedKey gives care teams a real-time, complete patient record at the moment of discharge and post-acute handoff. Reduce CMS penalties, eliminate record blind spots, and improve continuity of care across hospitals, SNFs, and home health.
Hospitals don’t struggle with data scarcity.
They struggle with missed handoffs after discharge — the part that drives avoidable 30-day returns.
Readmissions often happen when post-acute teams don’t receive critical discharge information in time: medication changes, follow-up plans, discharge summaries, and care transition notes. The result is preventable confusion, missed interventions, and avoidable returns — with financial and regulatory consequences.
- Discharge information delivered late, incomplete, or to the wrong destination
- Post-acute teams operating without an up-to-date medication list, discharge summary, or follow-up plan
- Care managers spending time chasing documents instead of closing gaps
- Hospitals unable to prove continuity-of-care execution across the 30-day window
MedKey exists to solve this: a CMS-aligned continuity layer that makes discharge-to-post-acute handoffs reliable, auditable, and measurable — so hospitals can reduce avoidable readmissions without adding another workflow.
How MedKey Works
A continuity-of-care infrastructure layer built for the discharge → post-acute → 30-day window.
Connect
MedKey establishes a lightweight continuity feed from existing systems to capture the discharge-critical record elements that post-acute teams consistently need.
- Discharge summary / instructions
- Medication list and changes
- Follow-up plan and transition notes
Verify
Before the patient leaves, MedKey verifies continuity readiness: completeness of the packet, correct destination, and the right recipients for the handoff — reducing “we thought they had it.”
- Completeness checks
- Recipient/destination confirmation
- Exception visibility for care teams
Deliver
MedKey delivers the continuity packet to post-acute stakeholders, confirms receipt, and tracks exceptions during the 30-day period so gaps can be closed before they become re-admissions.
- Confirmed delivery + audit logs
- Exception tracking (missing/late items)
- 30-day continuity reporting
One platform. Three outcomes tied to CMS quality and interoperability goals.
MedKey is a universal identity and data-connection layer that turns fragmented records into a single, trusted view for every patient.
Accurate Patient Identity Across Care Settings
Reduce duplicate records and identity mismatches that contribute to care delays, medical errors, and compliance risk.
Continuity of the Medical Record
Ensure complete clinical context—medications, labs, imaging, and history—follows the patient across settings, supporting CMS continuity-of-care expectations.
Timely, Informed Clinical Decisions
Reduce delays, rework, and uncertainty at transitions of care—where CMS penalities, readmisions, and adverse events msot often occur.
Built for connected care organizations.
MedKey is designed for organizations operating under CMS interoperability, quality, and reporting requirements—where incomplete records create financial and clinical risk.
Hospitals & Health Systems
Managing transitions, shared patients, and CMS accountability across complex environments.
Urgent Care & Clinic Networks
Supporting rapid access to verified patient histories without relying on patient recall.
Post-Acute Providers (SNF, IRF, LTACH)
Receiving patients with incomplete records and high CMS readmission risk—where continuity matters most.
Telehealth & Virtual Care
Bring full records into remote visits, not just what’s recalled.
Designed for real-world health systems.
MedKey is built with the realities of large, regulated organizations in mind—from compliance and security to integration and scale.
Security & Compliance
HIPAA-aligned, CMS-aware controls with auditable access logs to support regulatory oversight and internal compliance.
EHR-Friendly by Design
Standards-based integrations aligned with CMS interoperability mandates (FHIR, HL7, TEFCA-aware).
Scalable Architecture
Built to support multi-facility, multi-region deployments subject to evolving CMS policy and reporting requirements.
