Speaking on Business: DispatchHealth

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. DispatchHealth is a leading provider of in-home medical care for people experiencing serious health concerns. The company’s services include on-call medical care at home and recovery care at home for healing following a procedure or hospitalization. Market Manager of Operations Brian Hunter joins us with more. Brian Hunter: At DispatchHealth, we bring the emergency room to you — right in the comfort of your home. Whether it’s flu symptoms, dehydration or something more complex, our medical professionals are equipped to provide the care you need without the stress of a hospital visit. We accept most major insurance plans and work closely with primary care and specialty care providers, healthcare systems and employers to deliver in-home care that reduces unnecessary emergency room visits, hospital stays and readmissions. This past July, we launched in Salt Lake County. For on-call medical care at home, visit DispatchHealth.com to book an appointment in minutes or call 866-644-3354. For recovery care at home, talk to your doctor about a recommendation. We’re open 365 days a year from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. — holidays included. Derek Miller: Since the company’s inception in 2013, DispatchHealth has treated 1.2 million people in more than 20 states in the U.S. — resulting in 58 percent emergency room avoidance; 98 percent patient satisfaction rating; and nearly $1.5 billion dollars in medical cost savings.
