A recent study shows healthcare costs could increase 8% next year. Inbound Health’s advanced care at home programs are one way healthcare systems are reducing operational costs and improving throughput. Inbound’s programs have proven to increase hospital capacity, reduce 30-day readmissions, and improve patient outcomes. https://lnkd.in/gq5epCP2 

Healthcare is evolving with the rise of hospital-at-home technology and innovative programs like home-based skilled nursing. These initiatives aim to transition patients swiftly into post-acute care, slashing costs, reducing hospital readmissions, and relieving hospital capacity constraints. According to Krista Drobac, founder of Moving Health Home, "[Skilled nursing-at-home] is urgent because we have so many patients in hospital beds that don’t need to be there." While traditional fee-for-service Medicare may not cover these services, a few Medicare Advantage and commercial plans do under negotiated value-based contracts. For instance, Inbound Health, negotiates fixed-rate contracts that are more cost-effective than traditional skilled nursing facilities. Inbound CEO Dave Kerwar explains, "It is essentially a rate that is traditionally somewhere between a traditional home health episode and what a traditional brick-and-mortar [skilled nursing] episode is."
