Emory Healthcare has teamed up with DispatchHealth to deliver in-home follow-up and high-acuity medical care. Emory will integrate DispatchHealth’s Acute Care, Bridge Care, and ED-to-Home programs, providing patients with convenient access to medical services. DispatchHealth’s mobile app allows patients to request urgent care visits, with clinicians arriving at their homes within two hours. The partnership aligns with Emory’s commitment to expanding at-home care options for Atlanta residents. DispatchHealth has secured significant funding and established partnerships with various healthcare providers, including Blue Shield of California and Saint Francis Health System.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Emory Healthcare, a Georgia-based healthcare system, has partnered with DispatchHealth, a Denver-based in-home care provider, to offer patients follow-up and high-acuity medical care in the comfort of their own homes. DispatchHealth’s Acute Care, Bridge Care, and ED-to-Home programs will be utilized by Emory Healthcare to enhance its services.<\/p>\n

Patients can easily request an urgent care medical visit at home through DispatchHealth’s app, website, or telephone. Within two hours, a scheduled clinician, accompanied by a DispatchHealth medical technician, will arrive at the patient’s residence to provide necessary medical attention.<\/p>\n

By incorporating DispatchHealth’s Acute Care program, patients with non-life-threatening conditions like viral infections, COPD exacerbations, congestive heart failure, or urinary infections can receive in-home treatment from DispatchHealth’s medical team.<\/p>\n

The Bridge Care program focuses on providing home care to patients who are at high risk of hospital readmission within 48 hours after being discharged from an acute care hospital stay.<\/p>\n

For patients requiring follow-up evaluation or care after visiting the emergency room or being discharged from the hospital, the ED-to-Home program allows them to receive timely medical assistance from a DispatchHealth provider in the comfort of their own home within 72 hours of discharge.<\/p>\n

Emory Healthcare’s Director of Innovation, Will ElLaissi, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We are excited to join forces with DispatchHealth to bring new care models which provide more convenience for patients while leveraging established providers who can assist with this approach. We are committed to creating at-home care options for those living in and around Atlanta.”<\/p>\n

This collaboration comes on the heels of DispatchHealth’s successful fundraising efforts, with a total of $330 million raised, and partnerships established with various healthcare entities. Blue Shield of California, for instance, enables its Southern California members to access home care through a collaboration with DispatchHealth. Saint Francis Health System in Oklahoma has also partnered with DispatchHealth to offer in-home care services in the Tulsa area. Additionally, Marshfield Clinic Health System in Wisconsin has joined forces with DispatchHealth to provide in-home acute care.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, DispatchHealth recently announced a partnership with Included Health, a California-based virtual care company. This collaboration aims to supplement included Health’s online care services with DispatchHealth’s in-home clinical support, encompassing the treatment of a wide range of common to complex injuries, diseases, and illnesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
