Bringing Healthcare to Your Doorstep
Managing your chronic health condition just got easier with Daviess Community
Hospital’s Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) program. Our mission is to help you achieve better health right from the comfort
of your home. Whether you're managing diabetes, COPD, heart disease, or
other long-term conditions, MIH is designed to support you with personalized
care that fits your lifestyle.
What is Mobile Integrated Health (MIH)?
The MIH program at Daviess Community Hospital bridges the gap between hospital
care and everyday living. We offer
in-home healthcare services that help you stay on top of your medical needs, ensuring you have access
to the resources, treatment, and education required to manage your condition
effectively. Our goal is to improve your health outcomes and quality of life.
How MIH Can Help You?
When managing a chronic illness, it's important to have the right support.
Our MIH team, led by a Community Paramedic, provides comprehensive services
directly to your home to ensure you're receiving the care you need, when and where you need
it. These services include:
-
Health Assessments: Regular checks of your vitals, blood pressure, glucose levels, and lab
work to monitor your health status.
-
On-Site Treatment: Wound care, medication management, and support to help you understand
and stick to your treatment plan.
-
Preventative Care: Vaccinations to keep you healthy and safety checks to ensure your home
is free from fall hazards.
-
Social Support Referrals: Connections to transportation, housing, food assistance, and other community
services to support your overall well-being.
Who Can Enroll in MIH?
MIH is available for individuals 18 and older living in Daviess, Martin, Knox, DuBois, or Pike counties who are managing
a chronic health condition. Common conditions include diabetes, high blood
pressure, heart disease, cancer, and COPD. If you're struggling to keep
up with your care plan, MIH could be the right fit for you!
How Does the MIH Program Work?
Every journey with MIH is unique, but our approach is always focused on
helping you achieve happiness and good health at home. Here's how our
program works:
-
Referral or Inquiry: You can be referred by your healthcare provider, or you can reach out
to us directly to see if MIH is right for you. Once contacted, our
Transitional Care Nurse will assess if you can benefit from the program.
-
Personalized Care Plan: Our
Community Paramedic collaborates with your healthcare providers to create a personalized care
plan tailored to your specific health needs.
-
Ongoing Support: For up to 90 days, our team will visit you regularly at home to monitor
your progress, provide necessary treatments, and ensure you’re meeting
your health goals. We work with you every step of the way to make sure
you have what you need to live your best life.
-
Program Completion: After 90 days, you’ll “graduate” from the program,
but if you need additional support, you can re-enroll for continued care.
