RightCare offers an end-to-end software platform composed of three modules: RightCare Risk Assessment, RightCare Coordination Central, and RightCare Post Care Connect, designed to assess patient risk at admission, recommend appropriate post-acute care, and transition patient information. Its proprietary Discharge Decision Support System (D2S2), developed through a decade of research at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, provides evidence‑based risk stratification and continuous point-of-care decision support. The company says its software has been proven to reduce readmission rates by as much as 35%. RightCare plans to use new funding to accelerate commercial growth through geographic expansion across the nation and to continue product innovation to meet hospital, health system, and post-acute partner needs. The company emphasizes workflow optimization and improved care transitions as core benefits of its solution. RightCare is described in the articles as based in Pennsylvania (Horsham/Philadelphia references). RightCare Solutions offers a proprietary Discharge Decision Support System (D2S2), developed through a decade of research at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, that predicts and identifies high‑risk patients at admission. The platform provides continuous point‑of‑care decision support, optimizes workflow, and is focused specifically on improving post‑acute care transitions. The company says D2S2 is the only medical software focused on care transitions using its unique algorithm. RightCare has completed multiple implementations with leading academic health systems that demonstrated meaningful clinical improvements and financial ROI. The company is expanding its national presence and plans to grow sales and earnings over the next 12 months. Proceeds from the new financing will be used to fund sales, marketing, and operations. RightCare Solutions provides hospital discharge planning and readmission management solutions through its D2S2 Discharge Decision Support System platform. The D2S2 helps hospitals identify and avoid unnecessary readmissions and enables insurers and homecare agencies to improve post-acute care transitions by delivering point-of-care decision support and optimizing workflow. The platform is based on research conducted at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Eric Heil. RightCare plans to use new capital to expand the team, further develop the platform, and increase early market adoption. The company raised $1.75M in Series A funding to support these efforts. RightCare Solutions develops the D2S2 software, a scoring system administered by nurses and discharge planners to identify patients at risk of 30-day readmission at the time of admission rather than at discharge. The tool triggers alerts that refer patients to post-acute services such as home care, skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation, or nursing homes. The company plans to use its recent award to build out D2S2 further and run a pilot across four hospitals. It is also developing a second-generation tool to better match high-risk patients to specific referral destinations. Leadership includes University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing associate professor Kathy Bowles and Eric Heil, a Wharton MBA student and associate at Domain Associates. Financially, the only funding disclosed in the article is a $100,000 competition prize to support product development and the planned pilot.
