Home Sweet Home: Katherine Prentice

One impact of the pandemic on our healthcare system is that it inspired some necessary creativity and interest in new ways of providing care. One alternative care model that saw increased interest was the hospital-at-home model. About 150 hospitals have adopted this model, in which hospitals provide intensive care at home for patients with certain conditions. In this episode, we learn about how hospital-at-home programs work from Katherine Prentice, director of telehealth services for St. Bernards Healthcare in Jonesboro, who heads up the St. Bernards AcuteHealth at Home program.
