A program Mt. Sinai in New York launched to deliver hospital-level care at home resulted in a dip in medical errors, according to an article on the OPB FM website.
Research shows that care at home is cheaper and a person is 19 percent more likely to be alive six months after receiving treatment at home than in a hospital.
Mt. Sinai’s Dr. Linda DeCherrie said people fare better outside the hospital because in the hospital, patients fall, catch so-called super bugs or turn up their noses at the meals.
Hospital-at-home programs are currently limited, largely because Medicare refuses to cover the service.
