Medically Home https://www.medicallyhome.com announced a $110 million strategic investment led by Baxter International Inc., Global Medical Response, and Cardinal Health. Mayo Clinic and Kaiser Permanente to provide additional capital in addition to previous investments.
The goal is to advance Hospital-Level Patient Care at Home. Strategic partnerships and related investments support the growing need for flexible hospital capacity, evolving patient preferences, and the continued shift toward hospital care at home as hospital capacity pressures keep mounting.
The Medically Home model unlocks patient’s homes as safe alternative sites to receive high and lower acuity care across the care continuum in the comfort and convenience in their homes. More than 7,000 patients have been treated using the Medically Home platform and ecosystem as delivered by health systems across the country.
This model of care is expected to increase demand for the next-generation clinical workforce that combines centralized care oversight (guided by physicians and nurses in medical command centers) with field clinicians (nurses, paramedics, and technicians) who work seamlessly as a team.
The workforce is supported by Medically Home’s national partners that provide the needed clinical and supportive services, medication, medical equipment, technology and other capabilities that are used to create a safe and effective site for advanced medical care.
Rami Karjian, CEO, Medically Home said, “The accelerating decentralization of high acuity care from hospitals and other institutional sites plus an ever-increasing number of patients cared for at home, validates the importance of an ecosystem of healthcare partners working together on behalf of patients and clinicians that can care for them across the country.”
