How Search4Care Works

Fill out the request form. Relevant patient data can be pulled directly from the Hospital Information System—saving time and improving data quality.

Select suitable rehab clinics. Search & filter (region, specialty, earliest transfer date) enable targeted placement.

Send the request with required documents (e.g., medical reports, nursing documentation). All open requests appear in a central, filterable list with clear processing status.

Clinics receive bundled requests, review, and respond. Feedback such as “provisionally accepted,” “declined,” or “confirmed” appears in real time for all parties.

Once a clinic definitively confirms admission, the status updates automatically and all other open requests are cancelled—preventing bed blocking and enabling a smooth transfer.

Implementation & Roadmap

Pilot in 2025 with a project group of hospitals and rehab clinics.

Rollout from 2026 in three waves (Q2–Q4).

Success assurance: KPI monitoring, feedback loops, ERFA peer groups, and regular releases.

Technical Integration

API integration (recommended): Fully automated data transfer from your HIS (e.g., KISIM).

Single Sign-On (SSO): Convenient access via EntraID or OpenID Connect.

Use without interfaces: Full access via web portal for institutions without connected IT systems.
