"This is a whole new healthcare experience for patients and their caregivers that will deliver better clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction."
So says the president of population health at Hackensack Meridian Health, New Jersey's largest health system, which plans to expand its "hospital at home" program to all of its 18 hospitals.
The acute hospital at home program was created under a Medicare CMS waiver during the COVID-19 pandemic and has since been granted an extension, although extension of the program beyond this year will require additional action by Congress, reports the Star-Ledger.
The program has treated almost 100 patients since it launched in late April 2024 in partnership with Medically Home after a 2022 pilot at JFK University Medical Center.
Patients are monitored virtually through a clinically integrated, physician-led virtual command center, which operates 24 hours a day to ensure seamless patient care alongside in-person nurse visits.
Services include IV antibiotics, infusions, medication management, laboratory services, physical, occupational, speech and respiratory therapy and imaging in a patient's home.
Meals and nutritional consultations are also available.
