Backus launches mobile care program to cut hospital readmissions

The latest addition to Backus Hospital’s services will help with the transition between the hospital and home. Hartford Healthcare unveiled Mobile Integrated Health services at Backus Hospital. This service, which started operations last week, is the first of its kind in Connecticut, though more will be coming soon. The goal of the program is to provide continuing care while reducing hospital readmissions, Connecticut Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Manisha Juthani said. Connecticut started work on the legal framework for mobile integrated health services in 2017. After it was approved in 2019, it sat inactive for years until it received state and federal funding, Juthani said. In Eastern Connecticut, CT DPH will also work to bring mobile clinics to the region, Juthani said. “This is transformation in the making in Eastern Connecticut, so that people can live their best and fullest lives,” she said. What is Mobile Integrated Health and how does it work? This service is a partnership between an EMS agency and the healthcare system, in this case American Ambulance and Backus Hospital, both owned by Hartford Healthcare. In the hospital, patients are referred to the service if they are at risk of readmission or are in need
