MedStar Health has expanded its acute care at home program to Baltimore, targeting patients from its Franklin Square Medical Center and other local hospitals. This partnership with Dispatch Health allows for daily home visits within 72 hours post-discharge, facilitating a smoother transition for patients. The service, which has already proven effective in Washington, D.C., covers a range of acute conditions and includes treatments like IV administration and lab services. This expansion is part of a larger trend in healthcare following the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the increasing role of telemedicine and at-home care.
