SSM Health and Inbound Health, a provider of in-home, advanced care programs for health systems, announced a new partnership to bring in-home health care services to patients.
This week, patients at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital–Madison who meet specific criteria will have the option to be transferred home to receive services traditionally offered in the hospital with the launch of a new SSM Health at Home program, Hospital Care at Home.
Patients eligible for the new program will have daily in-home and virtual visits by a team of specially trained physicians, nurses, therapists, and other clinicians. Each patient will receive a digital tablet to be used during the program to provide remote monitoring and round-the-clock assistance from the care team.
A specialized care coordinator will ensure communication among the patient’s primary care provider, specialty caregivers, and support network. Patients in the program will receive the same level of services and equipment typically offered in a hospital setting.
The Hospital Care at Home program builds on the two organizations’ collaboration earlier this year to offer in-home skilled nursing care through SSM Health at Home’s Recovery Care at Home program.
