PointClickCare Introduces AI
New capabilities bring structured assessments and AI-curated discharge insights together to help care managers coordinate safer, faster transitions from skilled nursing facilities
TORONTO, June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PointClickCare, a leading health tech company helping providers deliver exceptional care, today announced new AI capabilities for skilled nursing facility (SNF) discharge planning that provide care management teams at ACOs, hospitals, and health plans with a clearer, earlier, and more complete view of discharge activity within SNFs. These enhancements to PointClickCare's PAC Management solution will be introduced at the AHIP 2026 Annual Conference on June 9-10.
For care management teams, discharge planning within SNFs has long been a blind spot. Today, discharge planning spans multiple care teams and systems. While SNFs coordinate follow-up appointments, home health referrals, durable medical equipment (DME), and discharge disposition, those details are often scattered across assessments, progress notes, and workflows that are not easily accessible to downstream care teams. When these critical transition details do not follow the patient across care settings, it results in fragmented coordination and potentially avoidable readmissions. According to Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the average hospital readmission costs $15,200, underscoring just how quickly discharge planning gaps can become a major financial and operational burden.
"Today, discharge planning is a black box. Care managers chase updates through phone calls and faxes, while SNFs repeatedly relay the same information to multiple stakeholders," said Shaun Hardin, senior director of product management at PointClickCare. "By bringing AI-informed discharge planning insights into a shared workflow while the patient is still in the SNF, providers can reduce friction, coordinate transitions more effectively, and help prevent avoidable readmissions. This ultimately leads to better care delivery and safer patient transitions."
As the leading electronic health record (EHR), connected to a network of more than 30,000 long-term and post-acute care providers, PointClickCare is uniquely positioned to bring clarity and coordination to discharge planning. Utilizing AI to read, organize, and surface discharge-relevant information provides care teams with earlier visibility into discharge plans and helps reduce manual calls, faxes, and fragmented workflows that slow transitions of care.
