Parkland Hospital in Dallas County has launched an at home program. Meaning the doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals go to the patient’s home.
"If they offer it do it, if they don't, ask about it, because it was really beneficial, and you're able to do your daily needs at the house as opposed to being in the hospital in the bed where you can't do what you need to do," said Gary Jackson,60, who was recently part of the Hospital at Home program.
Jackson who makes dresses and dance costumes by hand recently suffered a heart attack along with other health issues, including kidney dysfunction. He said he had warning signs but was putting it off due to his deadlines for work, but when he went to the emergency room, doctors admitted him. He had a pacemaker put in and was in and out of the hospital for 3
"I was starting to feel better, but I needed to get work some done, I had prom season coming up and other dresses had to be made," said Jackson who was told about the Hospital at Home program. Jackson said he was grateful to the program because he was able to not only do his work but also help take care of his elderly mother."The program is shown to reduce cost, readmissions, Emergency Department room utilization, radiology and lab utilization and falls while improving hospital capacity, patient and family satisfaction, patient activity, nutrition intake and quality of life," the hospital said in a statement.
