Post-acute admissions

The admissions desk, caught up.

Referrals arrive faster than any intake team can read them. Basalt reads every packet the moment it lands, checks it against your facility's admission criteria, and surfaces every risk with its source, so the right patients get a bed and none slip away to the clock. Which means, the right patients get more time for the care they need.

The problem

Every slow review is an empty bed.

A referral packet can run a hundred faxed pages. While a nurse reads it, the discharge planner is calling the next facility. The bed stays empty, and the referral source learns to send elsewhere.

How it works

Four steps, one pass.

Basalt does the reading and the checking. Your clinician makes the final call, with the evidence in front of them.

01

Referral received

A faxed or electronic packet lands in the queue, no matter the format or length.

02

Read and extracted

Basalt reads every page and pulls the clinical and payer signal in seconds.

03

Checked and flagged

Each finding is matched to your admission criteria and surfaced red, yellow, or green with its source.

04

Reviewed and signed off

Your clinician reviews the surfaced evidence and makes the admit decision. Basalt never decides, it prepares the decision.

The clearest way to see how Basalt reads a packet, checks your criteria, and returns a decision is a short live walk-through, on your own referrals and your own criteria.

Reads anything

Built for the fax machine, not against it.

Referrals still arrive as faxed PDFs, photographs, and scanned handwriting. Basalt reads them all, no clean data feed required.

  • Faxed and scanned multi-page packets
  • Handwritten notes and form fields
  • Discharge summaries, H&Ps, med lists, face sheets

Your criteria

Checks against your rules, not a generic checklist.

Every facility admits differently. Basalt encodes your admission criteria, by unit and level of care, and checks each referral against them, so a "yes" here means a "yes" for you.

  • Per-facility criteria
  • Acuity and capability screens
  • Red / yellow / green with plain-English rationale

Involuntary hold status

Always cited

Every finding traces back to the page.

No black box. Each flag links to the exact line in the source document, so your clinician can verify in one click and sign off with confidence.

  • One-click source citations
  • Auditable decision trail
  • Nothing surfaced without evidence

Authorization

Carry the evidence through to authorization.

The admit decision is only the start. Basalt reuses the same sourced evidence to support the payer steps that follow, so approvals keep pace with care.

Prior authorization

Assemble the medical-necessity evidence in minutes: diagnoses, functional status, and treatment plan pulled straight from the record and cited, ready to submit.

Concurrent reviews

Keep continued-stay reviews moving. Basalt surfaces the documentation that supports ongoing medical necessity, so days are not lost to back-and-forth.

Appeals

When a denial lands, Basalt pulls the chart facts that counter the payer's rationale, cited and organized into a ready-to-send appeal.
