💡New research suggests technology-enabled care at home is no riskier than hospital care 💡 A recent article in BMC Medicine suggests that in-patient level care delivered virtually or at home may be just as effective as traditional hospital care. The study looked at technology-enabled care models and found no evidence of an increased risk of readmission or mortality for patients receiving care at home. In-patient care at home, also known as virtual wards or hospital at home, uses technology to deliver care to patients in their homes. This can include remote monitoring, video consultations, and home visits from healthcare professionals. The study suggests that technology-enabled care at home is a promising option for patients who would otherwise need to be hospitalized. More research is needed to determine the long-term effects of this type of care, but the initial findings are encouraging as well as the cost implications associated with such innovation #healthcare #technology #homecare https://lnkd.in/eZU5UfNB thanks for sharing Dr. Joy Furnival CEng MIET https://lnkd.in/e3r58q5a Nick Prentice Nicola Medici Jenny Panes Francesca Wilson Jo Berry

Research consistently demonstrates that patient engagement is vital for enhancing #healthcare outcomes. A recent, notable example of this is the bold initiative launched by Houston Methodist which implemented a post-discharge texting pilot program to a patient population of ~80K that significantly reduced the use of acute care resources and improved the patient experience. In this study, Houston Methodist demonstrated patients engaged via text experienced: ✅ 29% fewer readmissions & 23% less likely to be readmitted (w/in 30 days) ✅ 20% fewer revisits ✅ Significantly higher HCAHPS scores across all metrics Click through to see more detail on their findings ➡️ And kudos to our customer, Houston Methodist, for conducting such an outstanding study—featured in the BMJ! We’re proud to partner with such an innovator in this space. Read the full study » https://lnkd.in/gKdCW5Mh #patientexperience #healthtech #digitalhealth #healthit
