A big thank you to Fortune and Richard Eisenberg for shedding light on home hospital programs. And special shoutout to our cofounder, Mark Prather MD, MBA, for representing DispatchHealth and our unique approach to hospital-alternative care.
Hospital-at-home is gaining recognition—and for good reason. It gives eligible patients the choice to receive the high-quality, advanced care they need right where many feel most comfortable: at home. At DispatchHealth, we’ve not only partnered with health systems to deliver hospital-alternative care through the CMS waiver, but we were also the first provider to directly admit qualified patients into our program, letting them skip a trip to the hospital altogether. By streamlining the admission process, we’ve made it easier for people to access care quickly and begin healing from the comfort of home. #HospitalAtHome

Our co-founder, Mark Prather MD, MBA, recently joined Bloomberg Intelligence's Duane Wright on the Votes and Verdicts podcast, where they delve into the future of healthcare delivery and the Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver program. In the episode, Dr. Prather discusses how DispatchHealth has built the technology, infrastructure, and clinical model to bring high-quality, high-acuity medical care to patients at home. In fact, we've helped several hospital systems deliver hospital-level care at home through the waiver program—resulting in reduced readmissions and unnecessary ER visits while improving the patient experience. Tune in to hear more about how we are partnering across the healthcare ecosystem to change healthcare for the better.
Thank you Mark Prather MD, MBA for spending time with us to discuss how DispatchHealth is at the forefront of delivery system reform in providing safe and effective hospital and post-acute care in the home. Mark shared his vast healthcare experience and how it led to him co-founding a company that's now in 30 states. We also discussed next steps for Congress in extending Medicare's H@H waiver.

We're thrilled to expand our partnership with UC Davis Health, now including follow-up care for certain emergency room patients. “The ED to Home program is designed to ensure that appropriate patients receive necessary care in the comfort of their own homes,” said Daniel K. Colby, medical director of emergency medicine at UC Davis Health. “Beyond benefiting patients receiving care at home, this program will increase bed capacity in the hospital, potentially reduce wait times in the hospital, and free resources that can be utilized for our most sick and complex patients.” #HomeIsWhereYourHealthIs
We're excited to share that we recently launched an innovative program that provides adult patients with care at home following certain emergency department visits. The new program is called ED to Home. It aims to improve access to care, deliver a more personalized patient experience and reduce unnecessary repeat visits to the emergency department. “UC Davis Health is proud to be the first health care system in the region to offer follow-up care for certain patients at home after their emergency room visit,” said Vimal Mishra, associate chief medical officer. “This innovative initiative makes health care more convenient, and more accessible to our patients, especially for those having trouble with activities of daily living. We believe it will help them avoid unnecessary trips to the emergency department or stays in the hospital.” Learn more about the ED to Home program: https://lnkd.in/gUPA68jB
