Home Care Agency Develops New Model to Decrease Hospital Readmissions

A Florida home health care agency has developed a new business model aimed at reducing hospital readmissions and cutting down on costs to Medicare, according to a Bradenton Herald report.
Infinity Homecare, based in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, is focused on educating older patients about what they can do for themselves, or empowering them through coaching and training to avoid rehospitalizations by remaining at home.

The model involves sending nurses and other professionals into clients’ homes to educate them on their own care after they experience major health episodes. This might include heart attacks, pneumonia or heart failure and setting achievable goals to overcome rehabilitation milestones while remaining at home.
