MANCHESTER: Point32Health, the parent company of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts Health Plan, and instED LLC have partnered to deliver in-home urgent care to certain members in the HPHC and Tufts networks. The platform works by routing requests for in-home urgent care treatment to a registered nurse for assessment, who will then triage the patient’s symptoms, review their medical history, assign a level of acuity, and determine if it is appropriate to dispatch a paramedic for an instED urgent care visit. An instED in-home urgent care visit can offer expanded treatment options including exacerbation of a chronic condition, illness and related symptoms, and injury assessment. Treatment can include point-of-care testing, blood draws, cultures, EKGs, IV therapies, ultrasound and first dose medication.
