Since June, Jacksonville, Fla.-based Nemours Children’s Health has cared for more than 120 children with complex medical conditions at home through a first-of-a-kind program.
The Advanced Care at Home program is designed for children who are medically stable but require ongoing advanced care. It is the nation’s first at-home care model operated by a freestanding children’s hospital, according to a Nov. 10 news release from Nemours.
Since its launch, the program has helped avoid 177 inpatient days, 27 hospital readmissions and 91 emergency department visits, Nemours said.
The health system plans to expand the program to Delaware by the end of the year and introduce a pediatric-focused mobile integrated health initiative in early 2026.
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.
