39% readmission reduction · $1.2M annual savings · 30+ healthcare organizations · 0 Reported Security Breaches
14 years working inside hospitals and healthcare organizations. HIPAA compliant since 2012. The same security discipline that protects criminal justice records now protects your patient data.
We reduce readmissions, protect patient data, and help teams pass audits — without operational disruption.

Most IT projects fail for predictable reasons. In healthcare, the reasons are different — and the consequences are existential.
A system that slows nurses down by 3 minutes per patient interaction costs your hospital more in staff time than it saves. We shadow workflows before designing anything.
The HIPAA Security Rule, OCR enforcement patterns, and CMS conditions of participation evolve constantly. We track them — so your systems don't become non-compliant after your next audit cycle.
Preventable readmissions aren't just a clinical failure — they're a financial one. The average hospital loses $1M+ annually in avoidable CMS penalties. We've helped reduce that to near zero.
Clinician burnout is at historic highs. Any system that adds friction to clinical workflows makes this worse. We design for the exhausted clinician at the end of a 12-hour shift, not the fresh administrator during UAT.
A healthcare breach averages $9.23M in total cost. One misconfigured system, one vendor's oversight. We've maintained zero reported security breaches across all healthcare and law enforcement deployments for 18 years.
Your peers are navigating these realities right now. One wrong decision on compliance, security, or vendor selection can define your tenure.

Not because of our technology. Because of how we think about healthcare.
We've shadowed care teams, attended morning huddles, and designed systems for how care is actually delivered — not how it looks in an IT requirements document.
HIPAA compliance isn't a layer we add at the end of a project. Encryption, audit trails, access controls, and BAA alignment are designed into the system architecture before we write the first line of code.
Not 'features delivered' or 'on-time deployment.' We track readmission rates, CMS penalty reductions, clinician time-per-patient, and audit pass rates. If the operational number didn't move, we didn't succeed.
Healthcare systems cannot go dark for a cutover weekend. Our phased deployment methodology has delivered zero downtime transitions across 30+ healthcare system implementations.
We've maintained CJIS compliance for US law enforcement agencies since 2008 — the most rigorous data security standard in criminal justice. That discipline now protects patient data in every healthcare system we build.
"LTK Soft reduced our readmission rate by 39%. More importantly, they understood our clinical workflows—they shadowed our care teams before writing a single line of code."

"$1.2M in annual savings from reduced readmissions. The ROI was clear within 6 months."

$1.2M
Saved Annually in Avoided CMS Penalties
⏱ ROI within first yearBefore:
18% readmission rate · $1.5M annual CMS penalty risk · No way to identify high-risk patients at discharge
After:
11% readmission rate · $1.2M saved annually · 94% average model accuracy · 300+ readmissions prevented annually
The Challenge:
A 250-bed regional hospital was losing over $1.5M annually in preventable CMS readmission penalties. Their 18% 30-day readmission rate was above the national average, and their care coordination team was overwhelmed — flagging high-risk patients manually, too late to intervene effectively.
The Constraint:
The hospital could not hire additional care coordinators. Any solution had to work within existing staff capacity and integrate with their Epic EHR without disrupting clinical workflows.
What We Built:
An ML-powered readmission risk model integrated directly into Epic via FHIR API. High-risk patients are flagged automatically at discharge — triggering care coordinator outreach, telehealth check-ins, and home health referrals. HIPAA-compliant, audit-ready, and invisible to clinical staff unless a patient is flagged.
The Result:
