Tampa (Fla.) General Hospital opened a hospital-at-home program for patients in Citrus County.
The TGH Crystal River’s hospital-at-home program will enroll patients who are seen in the ED or admitted to the hospital with conditions including congestive heart failure, urinary tract infection, cellulitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or diabetes, according to a March 31 system news release. Patients in the program will receive at least two in-person visits per day from the home health clinician team and visit with their provider via telehealth.
The Crystal River program builds on the system’s flagship hospital-at-home program, which has served more than 2,500 patients since 2022. Hospital-at-home improved the 30-day readmission rate by about 70% and contributed to a 30%-40% higher patient experience score.
