Supporting the patient’s journey, from hospital to home

As hospital admissions and labor costs/shortages have increased, patient satisfaction has decreased, and with the challenge of a growing aging population, it’s more difficult than ever to provide hospital-based care at an economical cost.³ Fortunately, new models of care are showing the potential to effectively address these challenges.

GE HealthCare is combining its leading expertise in hospital enterprise patient care solutions with that of Biofourmis, a leader in the care-at-home space, to take steps to reduce these challenges and create a world where healthcare has no limits.
Features

Virtual Care-at-Home Offerings

GE HealthCare and Biofourmis are collaborating to enable more patients to go home earlier, with the comfort and peace of mind that they are receiving high quality care while they are at home. Moreover, insights from Biofourmis’ FDA-cleared, AI-guided algorithms can help care teams deliver efficient, personalized care at home. The collaboration has three solution offerings.
Hospital at Home offering

Enabling hospital-level care in the comfort of home

The Hospital at Home offering enables you to provide high-quality, cost-effective care for eligible patients at home, while meeting the CMS Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) guidelines under waiver. The offering provides an all-in-one platform that streamlines program management, allowing module configuration and a detailed view of a patient’s vital signs, ECG, and other physiologic data from FDA-cleared medical devices, as appropriate.

In addition, innovative algorithms generate personalized patient baselines that detect clinical deviation while AI-driven analytics can predict deterioration early, enabling timely interventions.

Timely Discharge offering

Transitioning eligible patients home earlier

The Timely Discharge offering helps eligible patients go home a few days earlier, completing their hospital care plan in the comfort of their home. They’ll be remotely monitored utilizing condition-specific monitoring devices, and will be provided with in-home services, such as phlebotomy, infusion, and durable medical equipment (DME), extending the quality of care to continue at home. Patients eligible for Timely Discharge will be educated on the program, onboarded, and set up on the technology by a nurse liaison.* Additionally, these patients can continue to be monitored by a virtual care clinical team for 30-90 days with the Remote Patient Management offering, helping prevent rehospitalization and improving patient satisfaction.
