![]() Common items available through delivery include medical waste containers, medically tailored meals, medical supplies, medical devices, and remote patient monitoring (RPM) technology. Order: Orders are placed through the Velocare platform for specific goods and/or services to be delivered to patients receiving care in hospital-at-home programs. "Together, we're advancing this concept of care anywhere with the pilot of Velocare, demonstrating our ability to operate – and grow – within the evolving hospital-at-home model." "Like Medically Home, we envision a future where the highest-quality care is available to patients anywhere," said Schlissberg. This collaboration with Cardinal Health further enables the transformation of the delivery of patient care, which is at the heart of everything we do." "The complexity of supply chain logistics is one of the significant barriers to health systems providing hospital-at-home care to their patients. "The ability to further scale the delivery of goods to the home will advance the rapidly growing hospital-at-home market, driving scale and efficiency for Medically Home's high-acuity care model," said Rami Karjian, CEO of Medically Home. Potential benefits include cost savings due to reduced overhead and more efficient clinician protocols, increased safety due to a reduced risk of hospital-acquired infections and medical errors, plus increased patient satisfaction. The same research demonstrates how stakeholders - including payers, healthcare facilities and physician groups, home-based care providers, technology companies and investors-could see substantial value by providing patients with care in the comfort of their homes 1. The Velocare pilot includes real-time evaluation of the technology, service levels, effectiveness, patient experiences, plus consideration for future growth in new markets.Ī recent study by McKinsey & Company estimates that up to $265 billion worth of care services for Medicare fee-for-service and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries could shift to the home by 2025 without a reduction in quality or access 1. With the right infrastructure in place, patients who were historically admitted to brick-and-mortar hospitals such as those with severe pneumonia, complicated urinary tract infections, cellulitis, blood infections and congestive heart failure exacerbations can now receive high-quality, safe, hospital-level care in the comfort of their homes. Our collaboration is driving scale and efficiency, and ultimately provides positive patient outcomes." "With their mission of putting the patient at the center of care, combined with their differentiated supply chain network, Medically Home leads the way in bringing the hospital home. "We're excited to further expand our at-Home Solutions supply chain and logistics excellence to now reach patients receiving hospital-level care at home," said Rob Schlissberg, president, at-Home Solutions. ![]() The pilot will test the use of new technology, new order handling processes, small-format depots and short-haul delivery vehicles to enable safe and consistent hospital-level care in the home.
