Healthcare system Maimonides Health has partnered with myLaurel to offer in-home care for patients following hospitalisation, focusing on coordinated care within the community.
This collaboration aims to deliver safe, patient-centred care, especially for elderly, frail, and medically complex patients.

The care will be backed by myLaurel’s clinical team, with the goal of improving the quality of care and lessening avoidable re-admissions.
Maimonides Health chief medical officer Dr John Marshall said: “Our collaboration with myLaurel marks a pivotal step in our ongoing efforts to enhance the patient experience while they are receiving care here at the hospital and at home, continuing their recovery.
“Based on the programme’s prior results with other similar health systems, we anticipate that more patients will recover fully at home, rather than returning to the hospital for subsequent tertiary care.”
Qualified patients aged 65 and over, as well as those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and other serious conditions, can immediately access the programme.

By GlobalDataIn the following months, the in-home care model is set to expand to include additional patients.
The programme also enables caretakers to address patients’ social needs and provides families with clear escalation plans.
myLaurel president and chief medical officer Dr Marcy Carty said: “In home care starts on day one, and continues for two weeks.
“Then we deliver a strong handoff to the next phase of care. This partnership enables us to deliver that kind of wraparound support, reducing length of stay and improving care.
“We anticipate a 50% reduction in patient readmissions and a 25% reduction in length of stay for one in five of these inpatients in the first year, and more importantly, ensuring more patients achieve full recovery at home, without cycling back into the hospital system.”
