BedConnect’s Lindsey Joseph on matching post-acute care to patient needs

On I Don’t Care, BedConnect founder Lindsey Joseph and Kevin Stevenson discuss the limits of broad post-acute referrals.

  • 01BedConnect proposes matching clinical needs, payer coverage and bed availability before presenting post-acute options; this is the company’s approach, not independently validated outcome evidence.
  • 02CMS discharge-planning guidance emphasizes patient goals, treatment preferences and relevant provider quality and resource-use data.
