Talamel

Talamel is now on #BlueSky! We're noticing some interesting "stuff" in different states as we load plan, hospital, and post-acute care network data into our platform. So far we've captured data from Alabama, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, and Wyoming. It'll take time to align the data, it's VERY divergent across states. We'll post high level ideas on LinkedIn with more detail and conversations on BlueSky on ways to reduce avoidable bed days and average-length-of-stay. Once we analyze it enough to differentiate causation vs correlation. #digitalhealth #healthtech #healthcareinnovation #healthcaremanagement #AIinHealthcare https://lnkd.in/gpQ-BKyU

Currently seeking 3 experienced Case Managers to be part of a "Clinical Advisory Board" to regularly review our #DischargePlanning Facility Navigator platform to ensure our solution addresses the problem and is usable. *VERY* part-time, 1 hour every 1-2 weeks for the next 90 days (full commercial release). We've had our very own Jukka Valkonen, RN, PHN guide us, but it's time to start getting more data points. Post release the role may grow into either higher part time or full time. Or stay at 1 hour/wk. Startup = impossible to predict market adoption. Paid either hourly or via equity at the CM's sole discretion. BTW don't bother looking at our website for details on this, nothing will be shared in chatGPT scannable format until the unveiling. #digitalhealth #healthtech #healthcareinnovation #healthcaremanagement #AIinHealthcare #healthcare

The new administrations focus on #Medicaid #outpatient cost reduction is a simple use case for our platform since we already have ALL 15K licensed California facilities plus their #CMS and Medi-Cal performance data. We'll add in Q2 as Q1 focused on #inpatient #dischargeplanning plus analyzing Alabama as it's completely different and we're ensuring platform extensibility.

Presenting the critical business challenges that this month's release of our AI-enabled platform will tackle head-on. THIS is reducing the #healthcare system #friction that drives unnecessary costs. Private preview ~ February 1st. DM me to join the email list for monthly updates on future releases! All thanks to Gregory Gent Coby Wilcox Jukka Valkonen, RN, PHN James Marzano and Nitin Khandelwal for their tireless efforts, we truly have one of the best inter-disciplinary teams around! -------------------------------------------- 1) Plan’s “Find a provider” is often wrong or doesn’t have the information needed for the CM to determine which SNF/PAC facility is a good fit. 2) Finding a facility that has the required capabilities (ie languages spoken or Q4H/Q6H med admin frequency compliance), requires either tribal knowledge or excel/word documents. 3) Reliance on word of mouth or confusion over which specific person a care manager can contact to expedite urgent situations. 4) Locating the correct insurance forms for infrequent situations consumes significant time for case managers. 5) SNF/PAC websites are inconsistent, complex, and challenging to compare across facilities. 6) Written materials from clinicians or facilities to aid members are time consuming for CMs to manage and are often misplaced by members. 7) Case Managers must rely on memory or multiple websites to understand a members health plan summary level benefits. #digitalhealth #healthtech #healthcareinnovation #healthcaremanagement #AIinHealthcare

We're loading facility details into our #DischargePlanning AI model so case managers have a trusted, reliable system without the standard ChatGPT hallucination. We analyzed the distribution of California licensed /certified facilities in the Bay Area. Figured y'all would also find it fascinating. Southern California up next, will be curious to see how it differs. #healthcare #healthtech #bigdata #ArtificialIntelligence

We need an online #HIPAA training & certification vendor as our #DischargePlanning portal is nearly ready for public alpha. V1 is plan/health system/post-acute care only, no PHI/PII until V2 (April-ish).

Our mission to reduce friction between insurance companies, health systems, and post-acute care providers is well known. But what does this actually mean? Here’s an example focused on inpatient care transitions—a concept applicable across all areas of multi-entity patient care delivery. Step 1: Align and Map Processes Start by aligning your organization and partner entities on key definitions, care delivery approaches, and interaction points. Over the course of 90 days (or less), create detailed process maps. Begin with a high-level overview, then work through the details. Here's a suggested approach: Level 1: Macro View (see below pic) Map the entire end-to-end patient care process. Highlight areas where plans or post-acute care involvement could delay discharge, even when the patient is clinically ready. Level 2: Detailed Breakdown Drill down into each highlighted area to understand where plans or post-acute care providers play a role. Level 3: Handoff Specifics Outline the exact handoffs, including processes, documentation, and deliverables required from each entity. There’s no single “right” way to build these maps—use a method that works for your team. Steps 2 and Beyond Subsequent steps depend on who is leading Step 1 and their preferred methodology. A technology roadmap, including implementing zero or low-tech fixes, For organizations with prior experience or existing documentation, this process often takes 8–12 weeks or less. By investing time upfront to align on processes and responsibilities, you’ll enable smoother transitions, reduce delays, and ultimately improve patient outcomes while lowering costs. Good luck, and as always, we're here to help. #healthcare #healthinsurance #health #healthyliving #wellness

And we're excited to have you! We know you're going to help us make a HUGE dent in healthcare expenses, starting with our Discharge Planning framework. (Which lines up perfectly with what we heard from the CMOs at CCAH/HPSM/LA Care during last week's CAHP conference).

2 key #CAHP session takeaways: 1) 3 plans have already done some great work on #DischargePlanning , which wraps nicely around our research and solution. There was no presentation, we have 10 pages of notes, so we're creating a 3-slide summary for those who couldn't make it. 1 CMO has already agreed to review before it's released. 2) The California Department of Health Care Access and Information (created in 2022) has some AWESOME data publicly available. They are also gathering examples of cost reducing strategies from plans. We'll be closely monitoring their board minutes as that fits in perfectly with our mission of "Reduce healthcare costs and increase patient, provider, and staff satisfaction".

Existing #DischargePlanning tech is overly complex or expensive. The manual processes are cumbersome. During this #CAHP session next week, we'll be asking questions that hint at the functionality we've already started building. Attend, or come find us after to hear more.
