We were thrilled to be part of the conversation on alternative home-based care models at today's Home Health Care News event. Our CEO Jennifer Webster discussed how DispatchHealth is revolutionizing hospital-level care at home, focusing on patient safety and quality. Susan Ponder-Stansel, CEO of Alivia Care, Inc. and Robert Moskowitz, MD MBA, President and Chief Medical Officer of Contessa Health joined Jennifer on the panel.

The future of hospital-at-home is becoming clearer — and stronger.   In last week’s Home Health Care News feature, our CEO Jennifer Webster shares why the pending merger between DispatchHealth and Medically Home is more than a combination of two companies. It’s a signal that hospital-level care in the home is here to stay.   Together, we’re building a comprehensive platform: one that increases patient choice and access, deepens partnerships, and proves that hospital-level care at home is a scalable reality.

Improving affordability and health outcomes by bringing high-quality care to patients at home - that's the challenge we're tackling at DispatchHealth. Our partnership with Regence has shown remarkable results in improving ER diversion and reducing 30-day readmissions, while also providing an improved experience for Regence plan members. With 72 million Americans turning 65 by 2030, our hospital-level care at home is more crucial than ever. Learn more about our innovative model in the latest Regence HealthChangers podcast episode featuring Dr. Stefen Ammon, DispatchHealth's Medical Director of Clinical Practice.

Managing complex patients at scale requires innovative care delivery models. Hospital-level care at home is helping risk-bearing providers and health plans deliver better outcomes for members with multiple co-morbidities—especially those enrolled in C-SNPs.   At DispatchHealth, we’re proud to partner with organizations that share our commitment to keeping vulnerable patients out of the hospital and safely at home.   Learn how C-SNPs are gaining traction and what that means for the future of care delivery: https://lnkd.in/ea8cq_9N

“We feel strongly that patients need more access to care," DispatchHealth CEO Jennifer Webster said. "Our partners face capacity constraints.

This Patient Safety Week, let's shine a light on the incredible benefits of providing care at home! At DispatchHealth, we have treated thousands of patients in their home with safety metrics that are as good and often better than facility-based care. In addition, our 30-day readmission rates represent a 50% decrease as compared to similar hospitalized patients. As a testament to our safe and high-quality care, we recently received the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC)'s new In-Home Hospital Care Accreditation for our Advanced Care service.
