York, Pa.-based WellSpan Health is partnering with virtual care provider Biofourmis to ramp up hospital-level and post-acute care at home.
Under the partnership, WellSpan will transition its outdated systems to Biofourmis' remote patient management platform, according to a Feb. 15 news release from Biofourmis. The platform will be interoperable with WellSpan's Epic EHR system.
WellSpan and Biofourmis anticipate a 75% increase in hospital-level and post-acute care-at-home patient volume over the next three years, according to the release. With this projected expansion, the health system aims to broaden access to care by optimizing bed availability in their hospital facilities, especially for patients with higher acuity conditions.
