DALLAS, Nov. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As COVID-19
continues across North Texas,
Resilient Healthcare, a leader in the at-home acute care space, has
partnered with Medical City Healthcare, one of the most
comprehensive healthcare providers in North Texas, to deliver high-acuity care in
the home.
The partnership is significant as Medical City Healthcare is the
first network of hospitals in Texas to receive approval from the Centers of
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to participate in the Acute
Hospital at Home Program, which allows qualifying patients with
certain conditions to receive high-acuity care in their homes.
At-home care is supported by 24/7 remote monitoring, daily provider
visits and other necessary support. Resilient Healthcare will
deliver at-home care on behalf of Medical City Healthcare hospitals
in North Texas. Patients can only
be admitted to the program from emergency departments or inpatient
hospital beds and admission requires an in-person physician
evaluation prior to starting services at home.
"As we have done throughout the pandemic, Medical City
Healthcare's preparedness response has been to balance our
readiness to care for COVID-19 patients while continuing to make
sure the many other patients who depend on our hospitals receive
needed and timely care," says Medical City Healthcare Chief Medical
Officer Joseph Parra, MD. "The
partnership with Resilient allows us to continue to provide
excellent and compassionate care outside the hospital walls for
patients who qualify."
Hospital-Grade Care in the Home at a Glance
Once at home, qualifying patients will receive all the necessary
diagnostic and medical treatments they would receive during a
typical hospital stay including imaging, labs, IV and oral
medications, home nursing and therapy, virtual doctor visits and
continuous telemetry and monitoring.
"Our patient-centered model opens up inpatient beds to allow for
higher-acuity care while providing high-quality care in the comfort
of the patient's home," says Resilient's Vice President of
Operations Brian Chace, PT, DPT.
"That is a benefit for patients, families, hospitals and
insurers."
The partnership was recently highlighted in the Dallas Morning
News.
