The product line provides a full assortment of hospital-quality products for consumers categorized as Advanced Wound Care, First Aid, Personal Care, and Home Healthcare which help provide comfort and independence, while helping to promote healing.
When leaving the hospital after childbirth, injury or surgery, the care you provide for yourself or a loved one is important. Each year, hospitals discharge 35.1 million patients with 65 percent of those discharged to the home setting for care.
Effective post-hospital care is critical to avoid re-admission as one in five patients are readmitted within 30 days of discharge. With rising health care costs3 the Hospital Quality at Home line of products can provide patients, loved ones, and caregivers effective and cost-efficient ways to manage care at home.
Cardinal Health vice president of clinical operations Heather O’Sullivan said: "Whether personally affected or acting as a loved one’s caregiver, the focus should remain on a fast and safe recovery.
"We remain committed to keeping the quality of patient care at the forefront, which is why Hospital Quality at Home™ products are a natural next step for our business. We understand that providing access to the same quality products used in hospitals can positively impact many lives."
Patients and their caregivers will now have access to the following:
