Hospice eligibility software for clearer clinical review
Aether organizes referral records, source-linked evidence, and open questions so hospice teams can prepare a patient-specific case for physician review.
Turn a referral packet into an organized case
Hospice teams often receive records from multiple providers, in different formats, with important clinical details spread across long documents. Aether brings the supplied information into a structured case view, making the documented story easier to follow and the underlying evidence easier to revisit.
The goal is to reduce manual preparation before clinical review. Aether helps make the record more navigable; it does not replace the record or the clinician’s own assessment.
Keep findings connected to their sources
When a reviewer needs to understand a finding, they should be able to locate the source document and the relevant context. Aether links organized evidence back to the submitted records and helps teams distinguish documented information from questions that still need follow-up.
- Clinical story: organize key information from the supplied referral record.
- Evidence trail: keep summarized findings connected to their source material.
- Open questions: make missing or unclear information visible for follow-up.
- Review handoff: prepare a concise case for the hospice’s clinical team and physician.
Support the work before the eligibility decision
Aether is designed for the operational work surrounding admissions and ongoing eligibility review: gathering the record, following the documented clinical course, identifying unresolved questions, and preparing information for the responsible clinician. The physician remains responsible for the patient-specific certification and clinical narrative.

Who uses Aether?
Aether supports the people who prepare and review hospice referrals: intake and admissions staff who organize incoming records, nurses who develop the clinical picture, physicians who review the patient-specific evidence, and administrators who need visibility into case progress.
Does Aether decide whether someone qualifies for hospice?
No. Aether organizes records and supports case preparation. It does not make an eligibility determination, certify a patient, or replace the judgment of the hospice’s clinicians and physician.
How does Aether fit with existing hospice workflows?
Aether is designed to help teams prepare a clearer review from the records they already receive. The hospice retains its clinical processes, documentation requirements, and responsibility for applying current Medicare and applicable coverage guidance.
Decision support, with clinical responsibility kept clear
Technology can help organize evidence and surface questions. The hospice’s clinicians and physician remain responsible for interpreting the patient’s circumstances and making clinical and certification decisions.
