Home Health Care News March 29, 2020
The COVID-19 crisis is rapidly reshaping the needs and burdens of our national health system. Not only are the number of confirmed cases rising exponentially, but because of that influx of patients, hospitals are changing the way they intake, care for and discharge patients.
As a result, hospitals are more inclined to discharge non-COVID patients more quickly. These patients have a greater need than ever for home-based care, creating an urgent opportunity for home care and home health operators.
In this new normal, home-based care agencies can fill these gaps in service by doing what they’ve always done: provide the best at-home care services for vulnerable populations.
