Dave Kerwar is the CEO and Co-Founder of Inbound Health, a hospital-at-home organization that offers an advanced primary care model for patients who would typically go to the emergency department and a secondary care model for post-acute patients who would typically go to a skilled nursing facility. With virtual care enhanced by data analytics, remote sensors, and on-site visits, Inbound Health's model has shown lower readmission rates than traditional facility-based care.
Dave explains, "We help health systems launch and scale advanced care models delivered from the home. So our flagship care model is a hospital-at-home model where we’re typically taking patients who are presenting in the emergency department or have been inpatient for less than 24 hours and who could otherwise receive the totality of their hospital stay from the comfort of their home. In that model, what we do is we bring forward the care model, so basically, the care pathways for how to care for those patients."
"We bring forward a technology and analytics platform to remotely care for those patients, monitor those patients, and manage all the logistics around the care that needs to be delivered. We bring forward the virtual care team, which is made up of virtual nurses and physicians who provide the care and oversee the patient 24/7 and the in-home care. Nurses, therapists, and community paramedics go into the home."
"We have to manage a lot of the supply chain in these models. We bring forward durable medical equipment, home-based labs, home-based imaging, home infusion, transportation, and things like that. We manage the ability to provide that supply chain into home-managed care services. Often, these models are not a standard reimbursement structure with the payers, so we create that reimbursement structure with the payers on behalf of our health systems."
