Transitional care management

From discharge
to continuous care.

See what matters. Know sooner. Take clear action.

Ziva continuously understands how the patient is doing, Isabella follows what needs attention, and the care team steps in when human care and clinical judgment are needed.

"Robert told me home health hasn't come yet, and his weight is up 1.8 lb over 3 days. I've flagged both to his care coordinator and will check his weight again tomorrow morning."

The first 30 days

A lot changes after discharge.
Most of it happens out of view.

The first 30 days can bring changing symptoms, new medications, home monitoring, follow-up appointments, rehabilitation, equipment and other needs. Occasional phone calls and static discharge instructions alone make all of that hard to understand. Ziva brings it together into a continuously updated view of the patient's transition.

Symptoms that drift
A slow rise in weight or blood pressure rarely triggers a call from the patient. By the time they feel it, it's often an ED visit.
Plans that don't start
Prescriptions not filled, home health not visited, therapy not begun. The discharge plan says it happened; nobody has checked.
Teams stretched thin
Calling every discharged patient, every few days, for 30 days doesn't scale. The patients who need attention get the same time as those who don't.
How Ziva runs the transition

Ziva understands.
Isabella follows.
Your team decides.

Each part has a clear job, so your team can focus on the exceptions that need human attention instead of chasing every task.

See what matters
Continuous Intelligence
Evaluates every new reading and answer against the patient's own baseline, recent trends, clinical thresholds and current context, and keeps re-evaluating as new information arrives.
Know sooner
Isabella, Care Agent
Follows the patient through the transition: checks in, asks the right questions, collects symptoms and adherence, reminds about expected readings and documents what she learns.
Take clear action
Your care team
Steps in when clinical judgment is needed, with the full context already assembled. Your protocols decide who is alerted, when and how.
Continuous Intelligence

No more reviewing
every reading by hand.

Your team doesn't have to review every reading or wait for a fixed threshold alert to see that something may be changing. Ziva watches the pattern, and a meaningful change prompts closer observation and follow-up.

01Personal baseline. What's normal for this patient, not a population average.
02Recent trends. A gradual rise over days matters even when no single reading is alarming.
03Clinical thresholds. Your protocol's limits still apply, and urgent readings escalate immediately.
04Current context. New medications, missed doses, symptoms and what Isabella has heard, all in one picture.

Isabella, Ziva's Care Agent

She follows the patient
through the whole transition.

Everything Isabella learns becomes part of the patient's evolving context. Ziva re-evaluates with each new answer and reading to decide whether the patient remains stable or whether the care team may need to become involved.

What Isabella does todayAvailable now
  • Checks in after discharge and at the intervals your protocol sets
  • Asks relevant questions about symptoms, recovery and medications
  • Collects symptom and medication-adherence information
  • Reminds patients about expected readings when one is missing
  • Follows up after care-team decisions to confirm the patient understood and acted
  • Documents what she learns and escalates to your team with context
What she'll take on over timeExpanding
  • Coordinating permitted next steps for open transition needs
  • Following referrals, scheduling and equipment through to a verified outcome
  • Working with home health, therapy and pharmacy partners on blockers
  • Handling logistics like transportation so they don't fall to your staff

Each capability is enabled only where your organization permits it.

Follow-up, in practice

High blood pressure,
followed until it improves.

Walter H.*, 68, went home after a heart failure admission with a new blood pressure medication. On day 9, his morning reading came in well above his baseline. Here's how Ziva handled it, and the one moment his care team needed to step in.

Day 9

DeviceBP 162/96 from his home cuff
His baseline since discharge has been around 134/82.

IntelligenceWell above his baseline
Clinical observation
Not at the urgent threshold. Isabella is asked to check in before anyone is paged.
7:20am
IsabellaChecks how he's feeling
Good morning Walter. Your blood pressure this morning was higher than usual. How are you feeling? Any chest pain, shortness of breath, severe headache or vision changes?
No, I feel ok. Maybe a little headache.
Thanks. Have you been taking your lisinopril every day?
I ran out on Saturday. I was going to call about it.
Thanks for telling me. I'm sending a refill request to Dr. Patel's office now, and I'll let you know when it's ready.
7:24am
IntelligenceLikely cause found: 2 days without medication
Needs review
Refill request sent to the care team with his reading, symptoms and what he said. Approved by the nurse in one click.
Day 10
IsabellaConfirms he's back on it
Were you able to pick up your lisinopril?
Yes, took it this morning.
Days 10–13
IntelligenceReadings watched, no daily check-ins
Ziva expects BP to come down within a few days of restarting. Isabella only reaches out if a reading is missed.
Day 14
IntelligenceTrend not improving
Needs review
4 days of confirmed doses, but morning BP is still averaging 154/92. Escalated to Dr. Patel with the trend, adherence and symptoms in one summary.
Day 14
Care teamDr. Patel increases the dose
The only clinical decision in this episode, made with the full picture already assembled.
Day 15
IsabellaFollows up on the decision
Dr. Patel increased your lisinopril to 20 mg. Did you get the new prescription, and do you have any questions about it?
Got it yesterday. All clear.
Day 21
IntelligenceBack near baseline at 135/84
Stable
Observation ends. Everything is documented, and the new dose and refill timing carry into his ongoing care.
If he'd answered differently: chest pain, shortness of breath, a severe headache or a reading at your urgent threshold goes to the care team as High priority immediately. Isabella doesn't wait or troubleshoot first.
Care gaps

Don't just follow up.
Know what happened next.

Conversations uncover gaps that health data alone doesn't show. Ziva connects these real-world barriers with the patient's clinical and transition context instead of treating them as separate problems.

Where permitted, Ziva owns each need and tracks its status, coordinates next steps and flags blockers. Unresolved work stays visible until the outcome is verified or properly handed off.

Beyond day 30

The transition ends.
The understanding doesn't.

Ziva's understanding of the patient doesn't disappear on day 30. What it learns during the transition becomes part of the patient's long-term context, and monitoring, intelligence and follow-up continue as part of their ongoing care program.

No reset
Baselines, the medications that worked and the barriers already solved carry forward into ongoing care.
Same watch at month 4
A fluid pattern at month 4 is caught the same way one at day 4 is, with the same context behind it.
Ready for the next transition
If the patient is admitted again, the next transition starts with everything Ziva already knows.
Where it fits

One transition workflow, across settings.

Whoever owns the transition, whether the facility that discharged the patient or the practice that sees them next, runs the same workflow configured to its protocol.
