What Care Logistics does

Care Logistics is a U.S.-based healthcare operations technology company founded in 2008 and headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia. The company sells to hospitals and integrated health systems, addressing core operational challenges including emergency department boarding, avoidable patient days, discharge delays, capacity constraints, and overall throughput. Its solution combines a proprietary Operational Model methodology with the CareEdge digital health platform, an adaptive overlay on top of existing EHR systems that aggregates data across patient flow, staffing, and resource systems to deliver retrospective, real-time, and predictive operational intelligence, plus a Hospital Command Center offering that functions as a centralized coordination hub.

CareEdge provides predictive analytics on admissions, discharges, and length of stay, automated barrier identification with escalation workflows, and actionable recommendations for capacity and resource decisions. The company complements the platform with operational consulting services including Operational Discovery Audits, implementation of its Operational Model, training, and change management support. Revenue is generated through enterprise subscription licenses for the CareEdge platform bundled with professional services, sold through a direct field-sales motion targeting C-suite and operational leaders at mid-to-large U.S. hospitals.

Care Logistics operates within the Jackson Healthcare ecosystem and positions itself as a holistic, enterprise-wide alternative to point solutions, emphasizing that operational transformation requires both methodology and technology. The company promotes outcomes such as $1,664 financial return per discharge, 52% reduction in preventable harm, 31 additional beds of effective capacity, and 55% reduction in ED patients leaving without treatment. Its GTM is exclusively direct enterprise sales, with no reseller or self-serve channels, and its marketing leans on content, case studies, and regulatory thought leadership around forthcoming CMS emergency department flow measures.
