Kontakt.io Launches Patient Flow AI to Set a New Standard in Hospital Length-of-Stay Reduction

The new release advances the company's vision to enable frictionless care progression flow across the hospital 

NEW YORK, Jan. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kontakt.io today introduced Patient Flow Agent, a patient flow orchestration solution that helps hospitals reduce length of stay, eliminate delays, unclog revenue growth, and guarantee patient satisfaction.

Hundreds of decisions are made during a patient's journey from admission to discharge that dictate their length of stay. Many of these decisions are made without important operational context and will impact how long a patient stays in the hospital. Patient Flow Agent reshapes this reality -- it puts every key moment of the patient journey in context so frontline caregivers can make the best decision for the patient and for the hospital.

The Kontakt.io Care Orchestration platform blends real-time care-operations signals from RTLS with EHR data to create clinical context and next-step predictability. In turn, the agent identifies care progression interventions that improve patient flow, tracks outcomes, and automates action to simplify and accelerate discharge for staff and patients.

"Hospitals don't have a bed problem; they have a patient flow orchestration problem," said Philipp von Gilsa, CEO of Kontakt.io. "Patient Flow Agent turns fragmented data into coordinated real-time action using existing EHR interfaces and workflows, and surfaces time-critical interventions."

The new Patient Flow Agent reduces length of stay by full days and optimizes flow by predicting patient journeys, care resource needs, bed availability, discharge timing, barriers, and dispositions across the care continuum. It initiates interventions that free up scarce beds and redistributes resources to enable a system of flow. This capability is especially critical amid the ongoing U.S. influenza epidemic, when hospitals face surging patient volumes and intensified capacity constraints.

Hospital leaders can unlock additional capacity by freeing up beds sooner and reducing avoidable delays, directly addressing the national care efficiency challenge where, according to a recent study, 22% of US inpatient hospital days are not clinically necessary. For a 200-bed hospital, that translates to $4 million in yearly cost savings and an additional $3 million in annual revenue.
