Valley Health System, in partnership with Inbound Health is gearing up to launch a Hospital at Home program, set to launch this summer.
Through the Hospital at Home program patients will receive high-acuity inpatient care in the comfort and safety of their homes – improving patient experience while maintaining the same standards of quality and safety found at The Valley Hospital.
As the United States population ages and the burden of chronic conditions rises, demand for flexible, home-based models has increased. As a result, Hospital at Home programs have gained national momentum and have proven to reduce hospital readmissions and improve patient outcomes.
Eligible patients must visit The Valley Hospital, where their care team will assess their medical condition and home safety protocols. If deemed eligible for the program, the patient’s care team will make a referral to Valley’s Hospital at Home program.
Patients in the Hospital at Home program will receive daily clinical assessments, 24/7 monitoring, medical supplies, and home visits from nurses and clinicians for common inpatient diagnoses, such as pneumonia, congestive heart failure, or cellulitis.
The overall goal of the program is to help patients heal in a comfortable, familiar environment.
“Valley is pleased to partner with Inbound Health to bring hospital-level care to our patients where they feel most comfortable – at home,” Dr. Robert Brenner, president and CEO of Valley Health System said. “This program reflects our strategic commitment to making care more flexible, personal, and compassionate. With Hospital at Home, we are extending the trusted care our community expects from Valley beyond the hospital’s walls, offering safe, high-quality services where they’re needed most.”
The partnership between Valley Health System and Inbound Health leverages Inbound’s virtual and in-market care teams, technology, logistics, and clinical protocols – to enable safe, scalable, and effective care outside of the hospital.
“Our mission at Inbound Health is to unlock the full potential of advanced care at home,” Dave Kerwar, CEO of Inbound Health said. “We’re proud to partner with Valley Health System to bring this transformative model to life in the northern New Jersey region – expanding patient choice, driving innovation, and supporting providers as they evolve to meet the future of care.”
“We’re excited to build a model that helps patients recover where they feel safest – and most in control,” Brenner added.
