Post-Acute Care: The Administrative Crisis

Post-Acute Care facilities rely on flawless logistics to manage the constant flow of admissions, discharges, and follow-up care. However, the manual coordination required to move these patients has reached a breaking point.

Administrative burdens and the coordination of transport-dependent transitions now constitute more than 40% of total operating expenses. These costs are growing at a rate of 87.2%—outpacing expenditures on direct patient care by a significant margin. This "documentation tax" has become a primary catalyst for the 49% burnout rate among healthcare professionals, as clinical staff are forced to act as dispatchers rather than caregivers.

The Eightway Solution

OCTA by Eightway eliminates the "documentation tax" by automating the scheduling and coordination layer. By integrating transport directly into the facility's workflow, we return hours of clinical time to the staff, slash administrative overhead, and ensure that patient transitions are handled with precision, not paperwork.
