FAQs
What is Basalt?
1
Basalt is a tool that integrates into EMRs to help clinical and admissions teams make faster, more consistent decisions by pulling together patient data, applying clinical criteria, and surfacing what actually matters without manual chart digging.
Basalt is built for post-acute care, including behavioral health, skilled nursing (SNF), acute rehab (IRF), and long-term acute care (LTACH)—where decisions need to be both fast and right.
How is Basalt different from other AI tools?
2
Most tools automate tasks. Basalt improves decisions.
We organize the full patient picture (including faxes and PDFs), apply criteria like InterQual and MCG, and show the “why” behind every recommendation.
No patient waiting. No decision uncertain.
Is Basalt available for RFP subcontracting?
3
Yes. Basalt partners with health systems, operators, and vendors as a subcontractor on state and enterprise RFPs.
We provide the technology layer for faster, more consistent, and more defensible patient decision-making while aligning with your existing workflows and requirements.
Our team can support proposal language, technical documentation, and implementation planning to strengthen your submission.
If you’re pursuing an RFP, we’re happy to plug in early and help position the solution.
What problems does Basalt solve?
4
Right now, speed wins. The first facility to respond often gets the patient—even if the decision is incomplete.
That leads to missed details, poor-fit admissions, avoidable denials, and burnout.
Basalt fixes that by making fast decisions more complete, consistent, and defensible.

Basalt pulls in data from EMRs, faxes, and documents, then:
Organizes and summarizes the chart
Applies clinical and payer criteria
Flags risks, gaps, and eligibility
Produces a clear, defensible recommendation
All in one place.
Basalt checks payer criteria at the time of decision—not after the fact.
It flags missing documentation early and creates a clear audit trail, so your team can submit with confidence.
Teams using Basalt typically see:
~75% reduction in chart prep time
25–40% more throughput per team member
