STFE is an independent feasibility and audit layer for skilled nursing and critical access admissions. It helps hospitals send patients where the care can actually be delivered — and helps facilities make admission decisions they can defend.
What STFE is
STFE answers one question precisely, on both sides of a transfer: can this facility actually take this patient — and can that decision be defended later? It sits alongside the systems you already use, turning scattered information into a clear, consistent, audit-ready determination.
The problem
Sent, reviewed, rejected, resent — because whether a facility can truly deliver the care is unclear before the referral goes out.
Admission calls lean on individual judgment and scattered records. When an audit arrives, the reasoning is hard to reconstruct — and denials follow.
What a facility can genuinely handle is spread across systems and institutional memory — so good matches get missed and the wrong ones get tried.
What STFE does
Match a patient's needs to what a facility can actually deliver, so referrals go where they can succeed — fewer cycles, faster placement.
Every determination comes with a clear, consistent rationale — the same inputs always reach the same conclusion, and you can explain why.
Each decision is captured as a tamper-evident record you can produce on demand — built for the moment a payer or surveyor asks.
Who it's for
Place patients faster and more appropriately. See feasibility across the network before you send, and let a clear rationale travel with the referral.
Receive better-matched referrals and make admission decisions that hold up under review. Built first for CAH swing-bed programs and SNFs most exposed to audit risk.
Why it's different
A placement decision that is consistent, explainable, and independently verifiable — the one thing a denial reviewer can't argue with, and the one thing a black-box recommendation can never provide.
Trust & compliance
A signed BAA is in place before any Protected Health Information is submitted.
TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest, on HIPAA-eligible cloud infrastructure.
Every decision is sealed with a SHA-256 integrity check, so any change is detectable.
Least-privilege access, scoped to each facility, with full audit logging.
A sealed decision can be independently verified — no account or data exposure required.
Independent audit of security, availability, and confidentiality controls underway.
