Denver-based in-home care provider DispatchHealth is partnering with Georgia-based system Emory Healthcare to provide patients in-home follow-up and high-acuity medical care.
Through DispatchHealth, patients can request an in-home urgent care medical visit via telephone or the company’s app or website. A clinician is then scheduled to arrive at the patient’s home within two hours. Two medical professionals are sent to each home visit, either a physician assistant or nurse practitioner and a DispatchHealth medical technician.
Through the partnership, Emory will incorporate DispatchHealth’s Acute Care, Bridge Care and ED-to-Home programs to its offerings.
With Dispatch’s Acute Care, patients with illnesses or injuries that are not life threatening, such as viral infections, COPD exacerbations, congestive heart failure or urinary infections, will have access to DispatchHealth’s medical team for in-home treatment, Mobi Health News reports. Read more.
