The acquisition connects LeanTaaS’ inpatient flow software with Aidin’s post-acute referral and care transition platform.
LeanTaaS, a healthcare capacity management and patient flow software company, acquired care transition platform Aidin.
Aidin’s care transition capabilities will be integrated into LeanTaaS’ iQueue for Inpatient Flow platform, connecting information about patients’ discharge readiness and potential barriers with the workflows used to move them into post-acute care.
Aidin serves more than 200 hospitals across about 20 health systems and coordinates more than 2 million referrals annually through a network of more than 21,000 post-acute care providers, according to LeanTaaS.
The platform aims to help care teams coordinate patient placement, insurance authorization, patient choice and communication with post-acute providers.
“Identifying where a patient needs to go next is only the beginning,” Russell Graney, founder and CEO of Aidin, said in a statement. “Completing a complex care transition requires care teams to coordinate across patients, families, payers and providers, often under enormous time pressure.”
Graney said joining LeanTaaS would allow Aidin to connect its care transition workflows earlier in a patient’s hospital stay.
THE LARGER TREND
In 2022, Bain Capital acquired a majority stake in LeanTaaS and provided the company with additional growth capital.
A year later, LeanTaaS acquired Hospital IQ, a hospital workflow automation company. The deal created a combined company valued at more than $1 billion that served more than 180 U.S. health systems.
Later that year, the company introduced its iQueue Autopilot platform, which it described as “air traffic control for healthcare.”
Other companies have targeted hospital capacity and post-acute transitions.
In 2024, ABOUT Healthcare acquired Edgility to add predictive analytics to its patient flow and capacity management platform.
Last year, Cascala Health raised $8.6 million for its post-acute care coordination platform, which connects hospital care teams with providers treating patients after discharge.
