UPMC Home Healthcare Programs help patients with chronic illness in their own residence, reducing Emergency Department visits and readmissions to the hospital.
Healthy Hearts at Home is a program for patients primarily diagnosed with heart failure but also can be for patients with conditions such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, myocardial infarction, and COPD. Specialized nurses are able to closely monitor these patients and report significant changes to the attending physician to provide the appropriate interventions in the home. Our Connected Care program has also been a successful way to provide closer supervision and support.
