Emplify Health and Homecare Hub Partner to Revolutionize Patient Care with Transitional Placement Services
Emplify Health and Homecare Hub are pioneering a new model for patient care, Transitional Placement Services (TPS), to address the challenges posed by the aging population and the shortage of long-term care facilities.
Emplify Health and Homecare Hub have announced a partnership to introduce Transitional Placement Services (TPS), a groundbreaking model aimed at improving the transition of patients from hospitals to community care settings. This initiative is a response to the growing challenges presented by the aging population, often referred to as the 'silver tsunami,' and the critical shortage of long-term care facilities.
The TPS model is designed to ensure that patients with complex needs receive the appropriate care to facilitate their discharge from hospitals. It involves a comprehensive evaluation by a team of specialists and the development of a personalized care plan. Homecare Hub's technology platform plays a crucial role in this process by connecting patients with vetted care and housing options, ensuring high-quality, consistent care.
The initial pilot program will launch in La Crosse, Wisconsin, in fall 2025, with plans to expand based on demand and pilot data. This partnership not only aims to enhance patient care but also to reduce the burden on hospital staff and increase hospital throughput and cost efficiency. The model has the potential to serve as a scalable and replicable solution for health systems nationwide.
