Combination connects inpatient flow intelligence with care transition coordination to help health systems reduce avoidable days, unlock capacity, and improve timely patient access.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LeanTaaS, the market leader in capacity management, staffing, and patient flow software and services for healthcare, today announced it has acquired Aidin, a care transition platform serving 200+ hospitals across approximately 20 health systems, coordinating more than two million referrals annually across a network of 21,000+ post-acute providers. The acquisition expands LeanTaaS’ iQueue for Inpatient Flow by connecting intelligence about discharge readiness and barriers with the workflows required to move patients to the appropriate next setting of care.

Effective patient flow starts at the point of admission and extends through the patient’s transition to the next setting of care. However, readiness does not always equate to discharge. Roughly 40% of Medicare patients who are discharged require post-acute care, but these patients account for more than 55% of avoidable hospital days^[1]. Completing these transitions requires coordination across placement, authorization, patient choice, and provider communication — often across fragmented systems and workflows that make it difficult to maintain visibility and accountability throughout the process.

The consequences extend beyond an individual patient’s length of stay. When a discharge-ready patient remains in the hospital waiting to transition to post-acute care, the delay creates additional cost and keeps scarce inpatient capacity unavailable for another patient. At scale, these delays can contribute to emergency department boarding, delayed admissions, and longer waits for patients who need hospital care. Aidin is a proven solution that reduces length of stay by an average of 0.86 days, cuts placement time by 50%, and saves customers an average of $1.7 million per hospital each year.

“Our vision is to become the central nervous system for health systems by helping them better sense, understand, act, and learn across the enterprise and patient journey. This acquisition brings that vision to life by helping health systems manage patient flow from admission through transition,” said Mohan Giridharadas, founder and CEO of LeanTaaS. “By bringing Aidin’s care transition capabilities together with iQueue’s inpatient flow intelligence, we can connect intelligence with action beyond the four walls of the hospital, helping health systems identify needs earlier, orchestrate the work required to move patients forward, reduce avoidable days, and unlock capacity for the patients who need it.”

iQueue for Inpatient Flow orchestrates operations across a variety of activities to better manage patient demand, barriers, and other operational priorities throughout the inpatient stay. Aidin extends that work into shared referral and coordination workflows that create greater visibility and accountability across the teams involved in moving patients to the next setting of care. Together, these capabilities create the opportunity to identify needs earlier, initiate the right work sooner, and help care teams move patients through the care continuum.

“Identifying where a patient needs to go next is only the beginning,” said Russell Graney, founder and CEO of Aidin. “Completing a complex care transition requires care teams to coordinate across patients, families, payers, and providers, often under enormous time pressure. We built Aidin to give the people involved in those transitions a shared workflow, greater visibility, and more accountability to move patients forward. By joining LeanTaaS, we can connect that work earlier in the patient journey and create a more seamless approach to patient flow.”

LeanTaaS is used by nearly 200 health systems across more than 1,200 hospitals, centers and clinics, with iQueue for Inpatient Flow delivering an average of $10,000 in annual savings per inpatient bed.

“Vanderbilt Health uses both LeanTaaS and Aidin to improve patient flow. We are excited to see these solutions work better together and make care transitions simpler for our teams and patients,” said Lee Ann Liska, MBA, FACHE, President and COO of Vanderbilt University Hospital.

“Delayed discharges result in billions of dollars in avoidable hospital costs each year, including the expense of additional inpatient days for which hospitals often receive no additional reimbursement,” said Paul Moskowitz, a partner at Bain Capital Private Equity. “But the cost of a delayed discharge isn’t limited to the extra day. It also includes the capacity that can’t be used for another patient. Connecting inpatient flow intelligence with care transition coordination creates a compelling opportunity to address both.”
