Inpatient-level care
Acute care at home
Design the pathway, coordinate each episode, and connect operating cost to the same DRG payment model.
Care-at-home operating infrastructure
Run care at home like a real clinical service line.
Alterion combines software with hands-on operating support so hospitals can keep care local, understand episode economics, and scale beyond a pilot.
Early-stage. Partnering with a select group of health-system design customers.

The operating pressure
Care is moving home. The operating model has to move with it.
Capacity constraints and rising delivery costs are colliding with an aging population. Home-based care can help, but distributed care changes the work: every home becomes a care setting, and every episode depends on coordination outside the hospital walls.
38–50%lower cost to deliver an eligible episode at home in a randomized trial

Hospitals have spent decades building the operating infrastructure around the OR. Care at home needs an equally deliberate layer for a far more distributed setting.
Alterion’s operating thesisKeep care in-network
Home infusion
Coordinate medication, supplies, visits, and revenue requirements without giving the service line away.
Prepare for site-of-care shifts
Oncology at home
Build a safe operating model for eligible therapies while preserving continuity with the local care team.
A stronger step-down model
Post-acute care
Give health plans and health systems a coordinated alternative for eligible patients after discharge.
The missing layer
Clinical teams should practice medicine, not run supply chain and logistics.
Alterion sits alongside the EHR and coordinates the operational and financial seams between systems, vendors, and people.
Discuss your first service lineHospital-owned
Your patients, program, and operating data remain yours.
Works beside the EHR
Alterion handles operational and financial seams without replacing clinical systems.
Claim-aware workflow
Documentation and payer requirements stay connected to episode operations.
Human oversight
Automation supports the default path while people handle clinical and operational exceptions.
One connected platform
From the first financial model to every episode that follows.
No re-entry between planning, operations, and economics. Each stage informs the next, and the hospital keeps the operating knowledge it creates.
Before launch
Alterion Canvas
Connect the financial model to the clinical protocol before committing capital or headcount.
During every episode
Alterion OS
Coordinate vendors, supplies, schedules, escalations, and revenue requirements around the care team.
As the program performs
Alterion Econ
See contribution margin and cost drivers in the operating rhythm of home-based care.
Across episodes over time
Alterion Intelligence
Surface patterns, missed billing opportunities, and protocol improvements as the program grows.
Security and privacy
Trust belongs in the operating model.
Alterion is designed for the privacy, security, and governance expectations of health systems. Product diligence is handled directly with prospective partners so architecture, data flows, access controls, and contractual safeguards can be reviewed in context.
The partnership
Start with your numbers. Build only if the model works.
Alterion begins with the economics, then works alongside clinical and operating leaders to design the pathway, bring the first patients through, and improve the program with real data.
