BOSTON & DUBLIN, Ohio—Current Health has partnered with Cardinal Health’s Velocare solution to streamline Current Health’s in-home clinical monitoring kits and the patient onboarding for hospital-at-home programs, while reducing strain on clinical teams. The company said the collaboration helps health systems simplify operations, lower program costs and reduce vendor complexity so their programs can grow more sustainably.
Cardinal Health Velocare, a distributed supply chain solution, provides last mile, end-to-end logistics and inventory management for hospital-at-home programs.
“Acute care at home programs only scale when the clinical and operational pieces work together seamlessly,” said Christopher McGhee, CEO of Current Health. “As the leading clinical platform for advanced therapies and hospital-level care at home, we see the last mile as one of the biggest constraints on growth. Working with Velocare gives health systems a simpler patient onboarding workflow, supporting more enrollments and higher patient census capacity.”
As part of this effort, Current Health and Velocare will integrate their platforms to streamline patient setup and reduce duplicate data entry. Care teams will gain real-time visibility into supplies and equipment delivery within existing workflows while Current Health’s 24/7 nursing team delivers continuous monitoring, outreach and timely care escalation.
“Since Velocare’s inception, we’ve been proud to play a leading role in helping health systems address workforce shortages, capacity constraints, rising costs and patient preference for in‑home recovery through our last-mile supply chain solution,” said Alex Hoopes, who leads Cardinal Health Velocare as general manager. “Working with platforms like Current Health helps health systems launch and scale acute care-at-home programs more efficiently. Companies advancing these models have an opportunity to work together in ways that simplify the work for health system teams, and our investments are designed to help them move through the early hurdles and grow these programs with confidence.”
