DischargeHUB: Scaling Solutions Across Newfoundland & Labrador to Free Up Bed Capacity and Clinician Time
At Bounce Health Innovation, we’re proud to support Newfoundland-born innovations that are delivering real improvements in healthcare delivery across the region and beyond. One standout company is DischargeHUB, a home-grown solution built in collaboration with NL Health Services and now scaling across Newfoundland & Labrador.
DischargeHUB digitizes and streamlines the non-medical discharge process, including arranging home oxygen, equipment delivery, fire inspection clearance, and family communication, so patients can return home safely and sooner while hospitals reduce the time patients spend in acute care awaiting discharge. The impact has been impressive, with the platform reporting a reduction in average patient length of stay by 2.5 days and approximately 5 hours of clinician time saved per patient.
With an average of 60 discharges managed each month so far, DischargeHUB estimates that its current usage will translate into 1,800 additional bed-days and 3,600 hours of clinical capacity freed up annually. This kind of scale matters in a province where delayed discharges represent one of the most significant barriers to timely care.
At Bounce, we’re honoured to have helped support and validate DischargeHUB’s journey from local pilot to provincial-wide rollout. Their success demonstrates how Atlantic Canadian innovation can address high-priority system challenges while creating meaningful value for patients, clinicians, and the health system alike.
