Problem
Hospitals, hospice providers, and senior‑care facilities often operate in isolation, requiring manual coordination of referrals, credentialing, and service integration. This fragmentation leads to delays, duplicated effort, and inconsistent patient care pathways across the United States.
Solution
The Wishing Crane Project offers a centralized, web‑based platform that streamlines partnership agreements among medical centers, hospice organizations, and senior‑care facilities. The system provides a shared directory of member institutions, automated credentialing workflows, and standardized referral processes that enable coordinated, end‑to‑end patient care. By consolidating partnership data and service integration tools in one place, the platform reduces administrative overhead and ensures that patients can transition smoothly between acute, palliative, and long‑term care settings. Participants access real‑time updates on network membership, care protocols, and referral status through a secure dashboard, facilitating consistent care pathways nationwide.

Primary users are hospital administrators, hospice program directors, and senior‑care facility managers who need a coordinated framework for referrals, credentialing, and collaborative care delivery.
