As healthcare continues to evolve, the trend towards delivering care directly to patients' homes is becoming increasingly prominent. The convenience for patients, the desire of the aging population to age in place, technological advancements, and the need for cost-effective care are all driving this movement. This approach not only enhances patient comfort but also alleviates the burden on traditional healthcare facilities. While many healthcare services and systems have started to offer home-based care, the challenge lies in integrating these services to provide comprehensive care that reduces hospital ER visits, readmissions, and total costs of care. Leading companies in this space are distinguished by their ability to offer seamless, technology-driven home care solutions that benefit patients, providers, and payers alike. DispatchHealth stands out with its innovative approach to home-based healthcare and its nationwide care network. By combining on-demand care with advanced technology, DispatchHealth offers a range of medical services directly in patients' homes, including urgent medical care, hospital alternative care, and recovery care. In the latest episode of the Pear Healthcare Playbook with Pear VC, I had the pleasure of speaking with Kevin Riddleberger, Co-founder of DispatchHealth. We explored the founding and scaling of DispatchHealth, the challenges of reimbursement and scaling, strategies for securing payer contracts, the provider model they use, their success stories, and legal and fundraising advice for founders. Kevin shared invaluable insights into how DispatchHealth navigates the complexities of home-based healthcare while maintaining high standards of care and operational efficiency.

A key component to adequate healthcare is continuity of care. No amount on “innovation” will provide long term continuity. Imagine healthcare that is independent of employment.
Great choice for a guest @pear. Kevin Riddleberger is always thoughtful and insightful. Plus, he has great depth of experiencing attacking some of the most challenging and important issues in healthcare, preventive health and wellness.
