Despite ongoing advancements in healthcare, systemic inefficiencies persist, leading to inappropriate points of care utilization and over-reliance on hospitalizations and Emergency Department (ED) visits. This decades-old issue continues to affect frail, elderly, and complex patients who struggle to access suitable care outside of traditional hospital settings. As the forefront leader in home-based acute care, myLaurel™ recognizes these challenges and is committed to addressing them proactively. We were founded on the idea that the best way to deliver high-quality care is to deliver it in the home. We are the leader in home-based acute care tailored to the needs of frail, elderly, or complex patients. Our innovative models reduce avoidable hospital admissions and readmissions while improving throughput, shortening the length of stay, and maintaining high standards of care, safety, and satisfaction. Utilizing an interdisciplinary team of telehealth physicians, in-home paramedics, and RN care managers, myLaurel ensures patients avoid the conventional acute care journey from ER to admission to post-acute care. The innovative care model creates dramatic cost savings, helps patients prevent hospital-acquired conditions, and radically improves the patient and caregiver experience.
