CommonSpirit Health at Home Pivots Growth Strategy Around AI, Partnerships
In an HHCN+ members-only update, Home Health Care News unpacks a conversation with Trisha Crissman, president and CEO of CommonSpirit Health at Home, on the agency's strategy to move care upstream. Crissman says the organization's health system ties and 15 joint ventures with regional hospitals position it to identify patients for home health, hospice, and palliative care earlier, through primary and specialty care clinics rather than at discharge. With federal enrollment moratoria blocking de novo growth, Health at Home is instead using ambient scribing and AI referral management tools to expand capacity within its current workforce, since financial targets have not changed despite the lost growth lever.
Why it mattersHome health and hospice providers facing the same enrollment moratoria will need comparable system partnerships or AI-driven efficiency gains to hit growth targets without adding new locations.
