US-based Nemours Children’s Health has launched Advanced Care at Home, a paediatric care programme.

The initiative aims to deliver support to eligible children in their homes with continuous virtual access and clinical oversight.

It targets stable patients who still require enhanced medical care, with emphasis on complex conditions and other medical diagnoses, and seeks to accelerate safe discharge and continuity of care.

Nemours Children’s Health president and CEO R Lawrence Moss said: “Advanced Care at Home is an extension of our Whole Child Health approach — care designed to support children where they live, learn, and grow.

“This is an entirely new model of care that brings children home, keeps families together, and lets the entire family be comfortable in their own space.”

Since launching in June, the programme has enrolled more than 120 patients.

Nemours reports it has avoided 91 emergency department visits, returned 177 hospital days to families, and prevented 27 readmissions of inpatients.

The model combines technology‑enabled monitoring with round‑the‑clock clinical access.

Nemours Children’s Health executive vice-president, chief nursing executive and patient operations officer Jane Mericle said: “We know patients and families benefit significantly from treatment options that enable safe, continuous care and recovery in the comfort of their own homes. Advanced Care at Home offers tremendous promise in revolutionising paediatric healthcare.”

Plans are in place to expand the programme to Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware by 2025-end, with a paediatric‑focused mobile integrated health programme anticipated for 2026.

Nemours Children’s Health operates two freestanding hospitals and a network of over 70 speciality and primary care practices.
