January 2026: TEAM Model Compliance Deadline

741 hospitals face $3-5M annual penalties for 30-day readmissions

The CMS TEAM Model (Transforming Episode Accountability Model) holds hospitals accountable for patient outcomes 30 days post-discharge. Are you ready?

The $3-5M TEAM Model Risk

30-day post-discharge accountability requires comprehensive documentation and care coordination

❌ The Compliance Challenge

  • 30-day readmission tracking across all discharge locations
  • SDOH documentation (Social Determinants of Health) required
  • Care coordination gaps between hospital and post-acute settings
  • No "line of sight" on patients after discharge
  • Manual follow-up processes miss high-risk patients

$3-5M Annual Penalty Risk

For hospitals failing to meet 30-day readmission targets

✓ OrbDoc TEAM Model Solution

  • Automated 30-day accountability tracking from discharge
  • SDOH capture and documentation during every encounter
  • Care coordination workflows across hospital, SNF, home health
  • Readmission risk flagging for high-risk patients
  • Progressive HPI maintains context across care transitions

Compliance + Better Outcomes

Avoid penalties while improving patient care quality

Built for Small Practices That Enterprise Analytics Overlook

Small practices managing chronic disease panels (2-20 providers), ACOs tracking quality measures without analytics platforms, and FQHCs with population health goals and UDS reporting. Track panels and close gaps without enterprise system complexity or cost.
