One of the major concerns at St. Vincent’s is the length of patients stay.
It has also became a major issue of the cost for patients staying longer than expected

Creating the right system to fix the current issues –
Create an in-home healthcare service program. The concept is similar to the nursing home environment.
This program will provide patients with the extended care needed in their own homes.
Overall this home service can decrease the length of stay in hospitals and also the cost to the organization.
This service will also focus on improving the patients health inside their own homes.
