Coram, CVS Health's infusion care business, is working with Piedmont Healthcare in Georgia to free up hospital beds for COVID-19 patients.
Coram is expanding its telehealth services to allow IV-therapy patients to be transferred from hospitals to in-home care settings. This would free up hospital beds for COVID-19 patients and reduce IV-therapy patients' risk of contracting the virus.
"In states like Georgia, ensuring the ability of hospital and health systems to handle potential surges of COVID-19 patients has become a critical factor in assessing stay-at-home orders and reopening local economies," CVS Health said.
Coram also recently worked with UCLA Health to free up hospital beds in California.
