The partnership seeks to close the recovery gap between hospital and at-home care by offering in-home follow-up appointments.
Washington D.C.-based hospital system MedStar Health announced it partnered with in-home care provider DispatchHealth to bring acute care services to patients recently discharged from Medstar facilities.
The partnership will focus on avoiding readmissions and visits, which typically occur 72 hours after discharge.
Denver-based DispatchHealth offers in-home urgent care medical visits with telehealth and in-person options. In-person visits can be scheduled in as little as two hours.
MedStar will connect patients with DispatchHealth based on clinical needs and geographic information before they are discharged. Medical treatments provided by DispatchHealth include labs, EKGs and IV fluids and medications.
