Why the "CMS TEAM 2026" Mandate forces this change.

1. The Liability Shift

Fact: As of Jan 1, 2026, the CMS TEAM (Transforming Episode Accountability Model) is mandatory for ~700 hospitals.

Impact: Hospitals are now financially liable for the entire 30-day episode. If a patient is readmitted for any reason (even a fall at home), the hospital loses the profit margin for the original surgery.

"The 30-day window is now the Hospital's 'Balance Sheet Risk'." — Advisory Board, 2025

2. The "Post-CABG" Gap

The Failure Mode: In 2025 pilots, Generative AI Discharge Agents consistently missed "Physical Hallucinations."

  • AI Approved: "Discharge to Home" (Based on 'Stable' vitals).
  • Reality: Patient had Orthostatic Tachycardia (HR > 110 on standing) + 3rd Floor Walk-up.
  • Result: Patient fainted on stairs -> Readmission -> $24k Penalty.
STFE Solves this by calculating: Energy(Stairs) > Capacity(Patient).
