SSM Health partners with Inbound Health to offer in-home, hospital quality care to patients
MADISON, WI, NOVEMBER 11, 2024 – SSM Health and Inbound Health, a leading provider of in-home, advanced care programs for health systems, announce another innovative new partnership to bring personalized, in-home, hospital quality health care services to patients.
This week patients at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital – Madison who meet specific criteria will have the option to be transferred home to receive services traditionally offered in the hospital with the launch of a new SSM Health at Home program – Hospital Care at Home.
“We’re excited to offer our patients more choices for their care,” said Dr. James Lehman, SSM Health Wisconsin Regional Clinical Program Medical Director. “We recognize that many patients prefer to receive care in their own homes and research shows that they can recover faster there which leads to lower rates of hospital readmissions.”
Patients eligible for the new program will benefit from personalized, daily in-home, and virtual visits by a dedicated team of specially trained physicians, nurses, therapists and other clinicians to ensure that they receive the highest standards of care. Each patient will receive a digital tablet to be used during the program to provide enhanced remote monitoring and round-the-clock assistance from the care team at the touch of a button.
A specialized care coordinator will ensure seamless communication among the patient’s primary care provider, specialty caregivers and support network. Patients in the program will receive the same level of services and equipment typically offered in a hospital setting but within the comfort of their own home.
“Our continued collaboration with SSM Health marks another significant advancement in our collective mission to transform the delivery of high-quality health care services,” said Dave Kerwar, CEO for Inbound Health.
The Hospital Care at Home program builds on the success earlier this year of the two organization’s collaboration to offer in-home, skilled nursing care through SSM Health at Home’s Recovery Care at Home program.
“We are proud to bring another innovative new program to our patients to provide them with exceptional care in their own homes,” said Kyle Nondorf, VP for Acute Care for SSM Health in Wisconsin. “In addition to being cared for in their own homes where they can be surrounded by family and friends, the program helps to free up beds for patients who need to receive care in a traditional hospital setting.”

SSM Health Partners with Inbound Health to Offer In-Home, Post-Hospital Care to Patients
New home-based care program brings alternatives to traditional skilled nursing home stays
MADISON, WI, APRIL 23, 2024 – SSM Health and Inbound Health, a leading provider of in-home, advanced care programs for health systems, are excited to announce an innovative new partnership to bring personalized, in-home, post-hospital health care services to patients.
The first phase of this collaboration begins at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital – Madison this week with the launch of a new SSM Health at Home program – Recovery Care at Home. Hospitalized patients who meet certain criteria will have the option to be discharged home to receive services traditionally offered in a skilled nursing facility within their own homes.
“Research shows that patients prefer to receive in-home care and often recover faster within a familiar environment and are less likely to return to a hospital,”
said Dr. James Lehman, SSM Health Wisconsin Regional Clinical Program Medical Director.
“Patients being cared for at home spend less time in bed and are able to be more mobile so they can continue in their daily lives with their families, friends and pets to achieve better health outcomes.”
Patients eligible for the new program will receive personalized, daily in-home and virtual visits from a team of specially trained physicians, nurses, therapists and other clinicians to ensure that they receive the highest standards of care. Each patient will receive a digital tablet to be used during the program to provide enhanced remote monitoring and round-the-clock assistance from the care team at the push of a button.
A care coordinator arranges for all of the patient’s care visits to ensure seamless communication among the patient’s primary care provider, specialty caregivers and support network. The program brings into the patient’s home the same equipment and services typically offered in a hospital or nursing home setting, including: home infusion services, laboratory and imaging services and durable medical equipment.
“This collaboration represents a major step forward in our commitment to redefining health care delivery. We are extremely honored to partner with SSM Health and we look forward to working together to empower patients with advanced, personalized care within the comforting walls of their homes,”
said Dave Kerwar, CEO for Inbound Health.
In addition to providing skilled nursing care within a patient’s own environment, this new program also will help to alleviate capacity issues challenging area hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, according to Kyle Nondorf, VP for Acute Care for SSM Health in Wisconsin.
“Through this innovative new program, we can ensure patients will receive the skilled nursing care they need in their own homes which will free up beds for those who must be cared for in a hospital setting,” Nondorf said. “SSM Health will continue to partner with area skilled nursing homes who fulfill a vital role in serving patients with complex care needs that cannot be managed at home.”
dSSM Health and Inbound Health plan to expand their innovative partnership to extend the Recovery Care at Home program as well as a hospital at home program to eligible patients at additional SSM Health hospitals across the Midwest later this year.

Inbound Health Releases All-In-One Technology Platform for Advanced Care in the Home
Inbound InHome™ is a new patient management and analytics platform designed for the unique needs of acute and post-acute in-home care providers and patients.
MINNEAPOLIS, FEBRUARY 21, 2024 – Inbound Health, a nationwide provider of advanced care-at-home solutions for health systems and health plans, announces the release of Inbound InHome™, a proprietary patient management and analytics platform designed specifically for in-home advanced care. Inbound InHome was designed by Inbound Health clinicians and healthcare operators to deliver a technology-enabled, facility-level care experience in the comfort of the patient’s home. “When Inbound Health first started seeing patients in the home in May of 2020, we were leveraging a traditional biometric monitoring platform as our technology backbone,” said Dave Kerwar, CEO of Inbound Health. “While that allowed health system partners to remotely track patient vital signs, it lacked some major components required to conduct seamless, efficient, and highly coordinated care at scale.”
Inbound InHome eliminates manual workflows for identifying, coordinating, and monitoring patients with integration points into multiple EMRs. Safely caring for acute patients in the home requires rigorous screening, detailed preparations, and adherence to condition-specific care plans. Inbound InHome simplifies a complex process, saving clinician time without compromising patient care. “With Inbound InHome, I always know where patients are in their care episode, who their care team members are, and how they are progressing with their care in the home,” said Dr. Rachel Rivard, Senior Medical Director at Inbound Health. “The visibility and efficiency gains from Inbound InHome allow my team to support more patients while optimizing patient safety and quality of care.”
The platform enables health system partners to scale programs for advanced care in the home. Inbound InHome features machine learning models to help health systems identify in real-time appropriate patients for home hospital care and proactively identify risks throughout their care episode. Inbound InHome includes a workflow application to automate logistics across the care episode and device-agnostic patient monitoring capabilities that combine devices, wearables, and in-home sensors.
For patients receiving care at home, Inbound InHome can be accessed on an iPad or other tablet computer. The platform brings audio, video, and texting functionality for on-demand remote communication with providers. Patients also have easy access to their scheduled appointments and personalized care plans. “It was easy to use. They explained well how to use it, too. Everything was very user friendly”, said patient Debra Carnell.
Virtual and field-based clinicians have been using Inbound InHome to support advanced care delivery in the home for patients since August 2023. “Delivering effective advanced care in the home requires a platform that prioritizes flexibility, safety, and simplicity for patients and their care team,” said Emily Downing, M.D., a system clinical officer for population health and continuing care at Allina Health and Chair of Inbound Health’s Clinical Advisory Board. “Traditional tools in the market do not fully support clinicians or operations workflows needed to deliver this type of advanced care in the home. Inbound InHome is an accelerator for health systems to deliver established and innovative new care models in the home.”
Key Features and Benefits:
- Single Platform for Advanced Care in the Home: Consolidates and scales multiple at-home services into a consistent clinician and patient experience, including patient identification, device-agnostic biometric monitoring, care delivery, and supply chain management.
- Patient Identification: Integrated advanced analytics and AI/Machine Learning for hospital and skilled nursing facility-level care at home identify patients for program eligibility assessment, reducing average review time per patient by 50%.
- Patient Admission: Embedded screening checklists and natural language processing guide coordination with inpatient team and patient’s family.
- Configurable Care Plans: Codified care protocols standardize processes related to setup of condition-specific biometric kits, in-person and virtual care scheduling, supply chain delivery, and patient monitoring protocols.
- Field Worker Enablement: Workforce location tracking and remote data capture capabilities optimize time to first patient visit and coordination with remote care team in the patient’s home environment.
- Biometric Monitoring Hub: Centralizes data from hardware in the home into a single view for 24/7 monitoring of patient vitals and other key data points.
- Virtual Care Module: Real-time video, audio, text, and alerting for virtual visits, vital monitoring, and immediate connection between a patient and their care team.
- Support for Multiple Languages: On-demand interpreter services with support for 300 languages bridges care teams and patients.
- Discharge Planning: Automated task assignment and tracking ensure safe and comprehensive transitions of care, reducing readmissions after the episode ends.
- Advanced Analytics: Patient, user, and workflow-level data automatically captured before, during, and after episode feed real-time analytics for operations and clinical process improvement.
Inbound Health will be launching Inbound InHome with two additional leading health systems in the next three months, as well as releasing new features for Inbound InHome later this year, including:
- New continuous monitoring hardware
- Additional EMR integration points
- An updated AI/ML model for advanced patient identification
