Movement To Advance Care In The Home Growing

Moving Health Home, a coalition of pioneering health care organizations with a bold vision to change the way policymakers think about the home as a site of clinical service, officially launched only a few weeks ago. Founding members, Amazon Care, Landmark Health, Signify Health, Dispatch Health, Elara Caring, Intermountain Healthcare, Home Instead, Ascension, and Amwell coalesced around a shared belief that patients should have access to care in the home. Now, the movement is growing with seven additional members – Compassus, UPMC, U.S. Medical Management, the Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY), Advocate Aurora Health, Contessa Health, and Vituity.

Today's announcement reinforces the idea that the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated both the value and potential of home-based clinical care, and the desire to provide Americans the flexibility to choose their home as a site of care. The movement to advance care in the home is not new but is rapidly gaining momentum. Each of the new members brings deep experience delivering quality, innovative home-based care to patients from all backgrounds. Compassus, UPMC, U.S. Medical Management, VNSNY, Advocate Aurora Health, Contessa Health, and Vituity will be instrumental in advocacy efforts to integrate the home as a site of clinical care utilizing and sharing their firsthand knowledge and lessons learned providing home-based care during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in the years before that.
