Contesa is honored for making this level of care for the people of Michigan to make a partner with Henry Ford to bring this level of care.”
Why does it matter
While hospitals are historically the primary place of acute care services, new models of care are triggering a paradigm change.
In fact, the Home Hospital Care Brigham and a pilot study conducted by the Women’s Hospital proved to pursue traditional hospital care in many areas. Not only did Home Healthcare cut the average cost of care in half, but it also reduced use and better physical activity without changing quality, safety or patient experience. The study also mentions that patients appreciated the family to be in their homes, had their food and slept in their beds.
Especially during the Covid-19 epidemic, healthcare at home has been a welcome option for patients who otherwise delay in obtaining care. For example, 54% and 43% consumers said that they would delay care on Kovid -19’s contract or the possibility of going to the hospital, as per the Cofman Hall Survey.
Covid-19 originally ran home at home for acute care in the UMASS Memorial Health, but the benefits of the program will ensure subsequent time after its continuity.
“This is another important long -term effect for epidemic, thinking how we can take more care from the hospital,” Dr. Michael Gustafson, President, UMASS Memorial Health said, speaking Healthcare finance news In July. “For example outpatient in -presentor surgery. We are all going to our hospital in home schedules, because we think it’s much better care for patients.”
Henry Ford Health System Chairman and CEO Right Laster said in a statement by Henry Ford Health System and the CEO, “It is excited to improve whatever we want for us to share with our patients and members with their entire healthcare journey and participate for their intended options.
