Hospice Eligibility Platform

Clinical software,
built at the bedside.

Atulya digitizes the hospice admission workflow end-to-end. Nurses capture patient data at the bedside, physicians review and admit on their phone, and AI assists with Certification of Terminal Illness documentation — in minutes, not days.

The Product

A purpose-built platform for the admission bottleneck.

Atulya is not another full EHR. It's laser-focused on the most painful, time-consuming step in hospice care: getting a referred patient officially admitted. Three role-based experiences — nurse, physician, and manager — share one connected workflow from intake to certification.

  • Structured bedside intake on tablet or laptop
  • Mobile-first physician review and admit decision
  • AI-assisted CTI drafting
  • Real-time dashboards for managers across the entire pipeline

The Bottleneck

Eleven days is too long when the median stay is eighteen.

Hospice admission today is paper, faxes, and phone tag across nurses, physicians, and intake coordinators. Every day of delay is a day a terminally ill patient goes without comfort care, and a 2026 analysis found that moving hospice election just five days earlier could save Medicare $1.19B-$1.5B annually while improving timely access to comfort-focused care (Hospice News, Apr 2026).

One Connected Path

From referral to certified admission, in one workflow.

No more re-keying intake data into the EHR, the billing system, and the CTI. Atulya captures structured clinical data once and carries it through every step.

  1. 01
    Bedside intake

    Nurse captures diagnoses, medications, vitals, code status, functional status, allergies, and insurance during the home visit.

  2. 02
    Request review

    One-tap submission notifies the physician instantly. No fax, no phone tag, no waiting room.

  3. 03
    Mobile admit decision

    Physician reviews structured patient data on their phone, claims the case, and admits or rejects in minutes.

  4. 04
    AI-assisted CTI draft

    Atulya generates a draft Certification of Terminal Illness for physician review, editing, and signature.

HIPAA-First Architecture

Compliance is the foundation, not a feature.

Atulya is designed with HIPAA compliance in mind, including encryption at rest and in transit, strict access controls, comprehensive audit logging, and safeguards that protect PHI across core and AI-assisted workflows.

AWS BAAHIPAA-eligibleSOC 2-readyEncryption at restMFA enforced
Encrypted everywhere

Data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard controls.

Server-side PHI

Protected health information is processed securely server-side and minimized in client exposure.

Tenant isolation

Customer data is logically isolated to maintain strict separation across organizations.

Full audit trail

Access and critical actions are logged with auditability controls for compliance review.

SSO + MFA

Strong identity controls include single sign-on support and multi-factor authentication.

Private AI

AI-assisted workflows are designed to operate within secure, privacy-focused boundaries.

AI-Assisted CTI

The certification, drafted in seconds. Signed by the physician.

The Certification of Terminal Illness is governed by 42 CFR 418.22 and is the gating document for admission. Atulya helps generate a draft CTI to accelerate documentation while keeping the physician in control of review, edits, and final signature.

Human-in-the-loop

A licensed physician must review, edit, and electronically sign every CTI. AI support does not replace clinical judgment.

Secure documentation support

AI assistance supports documentation workflows while maintaining privacy and compliance requirements.

LCD-aware

Diagnoses are checked against the 12 CMS LCD categories and the CR 13882 exclusion list before submission.

Proven in the field

Designed with the clinicians who live this workflow every day.

Atulya was built by a team that started in the field, not the boardroom. Every screen reflects the actual rhythm of a hospice nurse's home visit and a physician's on-call shift.

About Atulya

Software for hospice teams that need faster, cleaner eligibility decisions.

We build a single secure platform that supports bedside intake, physician review, and documentation readiness in less than 24 hours.

Our mission

Hospice care begins with clarity and speed. Atulya helps organizations move from fragmented, manual eligibility workflows to coordinated decisions without sacrificing compliance.

What we solve

Traditional admissions often involve phone calls, faxes, partial records, and delayed physician signatures. We reduce friction with guided data capture, structured clinical packets, and tools that keep care teams aligned.

How we work

  • Design with nurses, intake teams, and hospice physicians first.
  • Prioritize HIPAA-aligned safeguards and practical operational controls.
  • Build AI-assisted features that support clinical teams, not replace clinical judgment.
  • Focus on measurable outcomes: time-to-decision, packet quality, and team throughput.
