The name Kithli comes from the Old English word ‘Kith’ meaning ‘friend.
When you really need a caring friend, we will be there for you.
More than 70% of all surgeries are now done on an out-patient basis. It’s great to be able to recover in the comfort of your own home. But, if you’ve had anesthesia or sedation, you must have a responsible person to take responsibility for you (a Contact of Record) from the point of discharge.
It can be awkward asking a family member, friend, or work colleague to take on this responsibility. If you live alone as more and more of us do, it can be difficult finding someone who will agree to take the time needed to perform this favor.
Let’s be honest! It’s a heavy lift!
This isn’t just another site matching seniors with companions to take them grocery shopping.
In a 2010 study of patients undergoing outpatient procedures in Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs), approximately 38.3% were in the 18-49 age group and 46.3% were in the 50-64 age group.
ASCs will see 12 percent and 22 percent growth in the next 5 and 10 years, respectively,
The average ASC saw a 21% case cancellation rate in 2024, which continues the uptick in patient cancellations of the last several years.
Kithli is on a mission to provide a streamlined, stress-free solution matching patients in advance of their procedures with caring, compassionate assistants to meet. Then, on the big day they will make sure you are there for the procedure, met at discharge, accompanied home, and safely settled.
The benefit to the bottom line of ASCs is clear since it is estimated that more than $50 Billion is lost annually due to no-shows and late cancellations.
Kithli is stress-free post-procedure compassionate, friendly care from point of discharge that will be serving multiple beneficiaries.
