The program is being funded by a Medicare waiver but may ultimately be eligible for scaling up to a broader population depending on the results of this pilot. It will provide acute care at home to Medicare patients with services including twice daily nursing visits, remote patient monitoring and prescription drug delivery via infusions. 

“Healthcare continues to expand beyond the walls of the hospital and this new program will help us advance strategies to improve outcomes and patient satisfaction while making care more affordable,” Robert C. Garrett, CEO of Hackensack Meridian Health, said in the release.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
