At HandOff, we’re on a mission to end readmission by improving non-clinical caregiving in the home. 

More than 70% of elderly patients discharged from U.S. hospitals will go directly home, where the majority of their care will be provided by family and other non-skilled caregivers – an at-home care team dynamic that accounts for over 50 billion hours of care across the nation each year. Despite this incredible effort, caregiving often becomes a stressful, solitary job that's further complicated by gaps in communication and collaboration between caregivers and clinicians.   

HandOff addresses these challenges by creating and managing evidence-based daily care plan checklists for the patient’s caregivers. We monitor the contents of care histories and provide tips to improve caregiver effectiveness. We also watch for troubling issues like falls, pains, seizures, and sores, as well as monitor health status alerts to catch problems early. If there’s ever a concern, we work with families and agencies to provide care histories to health care professionals, allowing the care to be properly adjusted in the home rather than in the emergency room. 

By empowering the delivery of more effective care in the home, HandOff improves the quality of life for both patients and caregivers. We're committed to increasing efficiency for clinicians, reducing hospital and post-acute readmissions, and lowering costs for payers everywhere.
