UMass Memorial Medical Center Temporarily Halts Home Hospital Program Amid Overcrowding Concerns
UMass Memorial Medical Center's home depot program has been temporarily paused, raising concerns about increased overcrowding at its facilities. The program, which provides care to around 20 patients daily, was halted on Saturday due to potential federal funding issues.
The University Campus of UMass Memorial Medical Center is currently grappling with a high number of patients waiting for hospital rooms in its emergency department. The pause in the home depot program, which allows patients to receive care in their own homes, may exacerbate this overcrowding issue.
The home depot program was put on hold on Saturday, pending the resolution of potential federal funding problems. The Chief Operating Officer at the University Campus is set to apply for the reauthorization of the home health care program on Tuesday, aiming to resume the service as soon as possible.
