Dr. Ahzam Afzal launched Puzzle Healthcare in Detroit in 2022 to help accountable care organizations, health systems, and skilled nursing facilities (SNF) reduce their readmissions and improve outcomes following treatment for acute care.
Hospital readmissions are a leading challenge for many hospitals and health systems given they are extremely costly, reaching more than $52 billion annually, and can lead to patients having worse outcomes from contracting additional illnesses or infections, according to Afzal.
“Our mission is to navigate and redefine the post-acute care landscape with a dedication to seamless, value-driven, and patient-focused solutions,” Afzal says. “We are committed to not only meeting, but exceeding, health care expectations, delivering optimal outcomes, and unparalleled patient experiences consistently.”
Puzzle Healthcare does so utilizing specialized care managers, proficient in disease-specific domains, guiding each patient from the moment of hospital discharge, throughout their SNF stay, and continuing to offer support for 90 days post-SNF discharge. This ensures smooth transitions and sustained, uninterrupted care, Afzal says.
The company uses its proprietary Post-Discharge Tracker, a tool offering comprehensive visibility into each patient’s well-being post-discharge. It empowers health systems with in-depth insights into patient health during the SNF stay and for 90 days post-SNF discharge, enabling timely interventions and further diminishing readmission risks.
