'Creative Solutions in Healthcare has never been content to follow industry standards—we're here to raise them.

CoreCare introduces Pre-Admit to assess skilled nursing referrals
AI-powered workflow platform CoreCare has launched Pre-Admit, a product that accelerates and improves the way Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) process referrals. This solution can deliver assessments within one minute. Pre-Admit has been launched in collaboration with Creative Solutions in Healthcare, which has more than 160 SNFs. The new fully web and mobile-enabled solution aims to streamline the decision-making process for admissions teams. Creative Solutions in Healthcare CEO Gary Blake said: 'We've partnered with CoreCare for over five years, and we didn't adopt their AI because it's trendy. We did it because CoreCare's technology helps our teams work together to make smarter decisions. 'Pre-Admit is the next step in our partnership. It shows our staff what matters, breaks down silos, and helps us get to yes with more referrals - faster and with increased confidence.' Traditionally, clinical reviews could take upwards of 20 minutes, with nearly 67% of admissions proceeding without complete financial verification. This exposes providers to potential financial losses and recoveries. Pre-Admit addresses this issue by quickly identifying clinical and financial risks, allowing admissions teams to act swiftly, increase patient intake, and safeguard their financial margins. CoreCare co-founder and CEO Dennis Antonelos said: 'Pre-Admit redefines how SNFs evaluate and act on referrals. 'It's built to embed expert-level clinical and financial evaluations across every facility, team, and shift - regardless of who's on the floor or in the office. We're proud of our partnership with Creative Solutions in Healthcare, and proud of our team for strengthening CoreCare's platform, giving providers more functionality in one system.' Pre-Admit expands the functionality of CoreCare's Collaborative Revenue Management platform, which already includes products for admissions, reimbursement, and revenue cycle workflows. The platform aids in the optimisation of billing processes, tracking of compliance across PASRR and management of Medicaid applications.

CoreCare and Creative Solutions in Healthcare Launch Pre-Admit, the First AI-Powered Solution to Evaluate SNF Referrals in Under a Minute
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CoreCare, the leading AI-powered workflow platform for post-acute and long-term care, today announced the launch of Pre-Admit, a new product that delivers expert-level evaluations of skilled nursing referrals in under a minute. Launching with Creative Solutions in Healthcare, the largest Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) operator in Texas, and the fourth largest nationwide with over 160 facilities, Pre-Admit sets a new standard for how SNFs evaluate referrals. Pre-Admit is the next step in our partnership. It shows our staff what matters, breaks down silos, and helps us get to yes with more referrals - faster and with increased confidence. Share 'I've always believed if approximately 12,000 people trust us with their daily care, we better be running toward the future, not away from it,' said Gary Blake, CEO of Creative Solutions in Healthcare. 'We've partnered with CoreCare for over five years, and we didn't adopt their AI because it's trendy. We did it because CoreCare's technology helps our teams work together to make smarter decisions. Pre-Admit is the next step in our partnership. It shows our staff what matters, breaks down silos, and helps us get to yes with more referrals - faster and with increased confidence.' Every SNF referral demands two high-stakes decisions: (1) Can we admit this patient? (2) What are the risks if we do? In a market where competition is intensifying, speed wins. Yet clinical reviews often take over 20 minutes, and nearly 67% of admissions happen without full financial verification - exposing providers to write-offs and recoupments. Pre-Admit closes that gap, flagging clinical and financial risk quickly and accurately so admissions teams can move faster, grow census, and protect margin. 'Even a straightforward referral requires coordination across multiple team members,' said Auston Clanton, COO of Creative Solutions in Healthcare. 'When teams are stretched thin and our referrals get more complex, back-and-forth slows everything down - and key details get missed. Meanwhile, hospitals are discharging patients around the clock and expect clear, confident answers. Pre-Admit bridges the gap between referral pressure and decision readiness. With clinical and financial alignment, our teams move faster, win more high-value referrals, and respond to hospital partners with the speed they expect - without sacrificing accuracy.' 'Pre-Admit redefines how SNFs evaluate and act on referrals,' said Dennis Antonelos, Co-Founder and CEO of CoreCare. 'It's built to embed expert-level clinical and financial evaluations across every facility, team, and shift - regardless of who's on the floor or in the office. We're proud of our partnership with Creative Solutions in Healthcare, and proud of our team for strengthening CoreCare's platform, giving providers more functionality in one system.' Pre-Admit is the latest addition to CoreCare's Collaborative Revenue Management platform, expanding its capabilities to include referral evaluation alongside existing products for admissions, reimbursement and revenue cycle workflows. Thousands of skilled nursing facilities nationwide rely on CoreCare's platform to streamline billing, manage Medicaid applications, and track compliance across PASRR and form workflows. 'SNFs that succeed in this new environment will be the ones that embrace technology to respond to referrals with speed, precision, and confidence,' said Antonelos. 'Pre-Admit is AI-powered infrastructure built specifically for the long-term care industry, and it's ready now.'
