In February, Providence, a not-for-profit health system serving the Western U.S., and Compassus, a national provider of integrated home-based care services, completed the first phase of a joint venture (JV) focused on home health, hospice and community-based palliative care. However, Providence employees expressed concerns regarding cost-cutting measures and staffing issues.
Specifically, critics of the JV voiced concerns that the deal would result in cost-cutting measures, increased staff workloads and reduced patient services.
Compassus senior vice president and chief marketing and communications officer, Kathleen Winn, told Home Health Care News that partnerships like Compassus’s JV with Providence greatly benefit hospitals and health systems by allowing patients to move from an inpatient environment to home-based care and avoiding readmissions through careful monitoring.
