Home care delivery has the potential to give excellent treatment to their patients at-home and the benefits of treating a patient at-home are huge compared to the care delivery in hospitals. Treating patients in the comfort of their homes improves the recovery rate as compared to when patients are at hospital's bed. Private companies like Humana were the first to cover DispatchHealth's program and are also growing their own in-home care service. Home care delivery model has the potential to provide good clinical care at a lower cost which makes this a lucrative market.
