Dina

Dina Care’s platform connects hospitals and health plans to identify in-home care partners using proprietary data. The platform contracts post-acute, home, and social determinant providers and adds them to a network that allows members of care teams to coordinate and share patient data, including staffing, authorizations, and family and caregiver engagement.
