Dr. Marcy Carty, President and Chief Medical Officer of myLaurel, emphasizes the need to change the model where hospitals are the safest place for medical care. MyLaurel's acute care services include pre-hospital care to prevent emergency room visits, care-at-home to help patients get discharged earlier, and post-hospitalization care to smooth the transition. They work with primary physicians and other care providers to ensure a coordinated approach and use technology in the home to perform monitoring and diagnostics overseen by medical professionals and responders who can provide in-person and virtual visits.
Marcy explains, "In the past, our health systems have looked at volume. I was a chief medical officer at a hospital, and I remember my CEO saying, "How many heads and beds can we get?" And so the system’s really driven towards reducing risk and putting people into hospitals, assuming that it’s the best place to be cared for. At myLaurel, we challenge that and work with communities to say, "How can we change that paradigm and bring the care to someone at home where they can sleep in their own bed, where they can hold all the power in their decision-making and ensure their goals of care are really incorporated into the care plan?" We want to change the paradigm that hospitals are the safest place to be and bring that care home, where I would say most people we talk to want to be cared for."
"In general, myLaurel focuses on elderly or frail or people with complex medical conditions. What that means is our average patient is in their eighties, our average patient has about 13 medications, and our average patient has six or more chronic conditions. They generally represent the top 10% of patients for a health plan, accountable care organization, or physician group."
