Caring for COVID-19 Patients
Kim Kranz, president, Catholic Home Care & Good Shepherd Hospice
Jennifer Sherman, Netsmart
In COVID hotspots, hospitals and other health care providers quickly rose to the occasion this spring when faced with a rapid influx of new patients. Catholic Home Care & Good Shepherd Hospice on Long Island cared for more than 1,100 COVID-positive patients and 400 hospice patients who are COVID positive. They've also kept a rehospitalization rate to less than 1%. How did they do it?
Kim Kranz, president at Catholic Home Care & Good Shepherd Hospice, joined this episode of Netsmart CareThreads to talk about what's involved in taking care of patients with COVID-19.
What we discussed with Kim:
- The challenges of scaling up services rapidly during a pandemic
- Advice for home health organizations in new COVID hotspots
- How to provide palliative care solutions during a time of shortage in primary medicine
This discussion with Kim Kranz was taken from our show Netsmart CareThreads.
