Case Study: UMass Memorial Health scales Hospital at Home and saves 3,000+ bed days with Current Health

UMass Memorial Health scales Hospital at Home 160% in four months with Current Health

UMass Memorial Health, a provider in Worcester, Massachusetts, faced significant hospital capacity challenges and sought to promote health equity for its diverse community, which included many patients facing barriers like lack of internet access, technical illiteracy, and language differences. To address this, they partnered with vendor Current Health to launch a technology-enabled Hospital at Home program built to scale.

The solution implemented by Current Health included a Clinical Command Center, a home hub for connectivity, a tablet, remote monitoring devices, and a clinical dashboard. This provided 24/7 support, intelligent alarms, and deep integration with the health system's Epic EHR. As a result, UMass Memorial's program became one of the nation's largest, treating over 500 patients, saving more than 3,000 bed days, and achieving a 160% growth in patient census over four months with the support of Current Health.
