The future of healthcare is taking a nod from the past with house calls
October 25, 2021
OHIO, USA — The future of healthcare is going back to the past. House calls are coming back and thanks to the pandemic, local hospitals got their programs off the ground and into people's homes.
When Janora Johnson developed what doctors believed was COVID-19, she was sent home from the ER. Her medical team at University Hospitals thought that was the safest place for her to be. She became the first patient of UH's "Care at Home" program that started in April.
"It was just like being in the hospital, every morning environmental services would come and clean and sanitize my home, a home health aid to help me with my personal care, the EMT came every day, like three to four times a day, the doctor actually came to my home" Janora said.
