New York City-based NewYork-Presbyterian has started a hospital-at-home program to treat acute care patients from two of its campuses at their homes.
The health system is one of the first to launch the care model since CMS resumed reimbursing for hospital at home with the end of the 43-day government shutdown. The agency granted NewYork-Presbyterian a hospital-at-home waiver in March.
The program is available to patients who live in Manhattan within 30 minutes of NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center or NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, have a “clean, accessible” home, and meet certain clinical requirements, according to a Nov. 17 news release.
Each patient, who will receive remote monitoring devices, will be visited twice a day by a NewYork-Presbyterian care team member who will check vital signs and dispense medication, and have a daily telehealth visit with a provider from the health system.
