MANAGING HEALTHCARE COSTS WITH IN-HOME HOSPITAL CARE
MANAGING HEALTHCARE COSTS WITH IN-HOME HOSPITAL CARE
The benefits* don’t stop there. For funders of healthcare and those tasked with managing healthcare costs (such as insurers, government and hospital groups), appropriate in-home hospital care offers:
In-home hospital care enables better bed management in public and private hospitals, reserving inpatient stays for those who really need to be there.
Vitalis in-home hospital care services include:
Vitalis in-home hospital services are provided wherever patients live: at home, in an assisted living facility, or in a residential care facility.
To ensure quality control of clinical outcomes, clinical services are delivered by Vitalis’ skilled team of Registered Nurses, under the direction of the patient’s treating doctor.
Vitalis maintains comprehensive clinical governance and is accredited by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) to provide acute clinical services in the home.
* In an extensive meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials comparing HITH with in-hospital care, it was unequivocally demonstrated that HITH is the safer and more efficient option. The study showed patients receiving HITH experienced a 19% reduction in mortality, a 23% reduction in readmission to hospital, and high patient and carer satisfaction compared with in-hospital care. Costs were also significantly lower: Caplan et al, ‘A Meta-Analysis of ‘Hospital in the Home’, Medical Journal of Australia 197(9): 512-9, 2012; see also: Deloitte Access Economics, ‘Economic Analysis of HITH’, 2011.
