What is EDEN?

EDEN is a portfolio of solutions providing providers with real-time notice of patient health care encounters from acute and post-acute care facilities across Texas. These health care facilities send admit-discharge-transfer (ADT) messages in real-time and EDEN compares them to patient lists provided by subscribing health care organizations. When a listed patient receives care at a participating facility, subscribers receive an alert containing details about that patient’s health encounter.
