SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Madison is launching a program in which some patients who are ready to leave the hospital and need services typically provided in nursing homes can get the care in their own homes instead.
The program is part of a new SSM Health partnership with Minneapolis-based Inbound Health, which provides in-home, post-hospital care.
Eligible patients will get daily in-home and virtual visits from providers and therapists, along with a digital tablet for remote monitoring and around-the-clock assistance.

The program offers home infusion services, lab and imaging services, and medical equipment.
The program will help alleviate capacity issues at hospitals and nursing homes, said Kyle Nondorf, vice president for acute care for SSM Health in Wisconsin.
