Pluspunten

The patients are great and it's nice to help elderly patients in their home.

Minpunten

The ONLY thing this company cares about is falsifying their stats to make them better positioned for a big payday when they sell. Their Net Promoter Score of 95% is a total lie. The employees fill out the survey for all the patients. You WILL be pressured to keep EVERYONE at home. Unstable vitals? No problem. Critical lab values? Not important. Need a CT scan? Nah, not here. Obvious DVT? Just order an outpatient US and hope someone follows up if it's positive. Need a CBC or blood cultures? Nope, we don't do that either. Send ANYONE to the ED because that's what they need? You will be questioned. The equipment is also a joke. Cheapest of everything. Refurbished IT equipment that doesn't hold a charge, EKG stickers that don't "stick", suture kits that are like a children's toy. They hire cheap EMTs and give them one day of "training" to do skills that they have never done before like 12-leads and IV placement/blood draws. They leave it to the NP/PAs to train them in the field, but they all quit long before they are proficient - and then the cycle repeats. Oh and if your EMT calls out? Then go out alone into bad neighborhoods, drive the car, carry all the gear, and treat patient's solo. And your refurbished company cell phone won't have a signal to call for help. Don't want to go out alone because it's not safe? Then go home with NO pay. Oh, you have a contract? Yeah we don't honor anything in that. Seriously...I beg you...if you want to keep your license, not end up in court, or end up being held hostage by a patient because you are alone at night without anyone at the company caring about it....RUN, RUN, RUN.

Pluspunten

Enterprising part of medicine. They are essentially reviving house calls but with high acuity. Good work life balance. Bonuses are nice.

Minpunten

Poor marketing. They advertise as ER/hospital level care in the comfort of home or alternate care as they call it. They oversell what they can actually do. They are essentially an urgent Care that goes to your house. They cannot do traditional labs for example cbc, cmp etc. Istat chem8, point care COVID/flu/strep is all they can do lab wise with ekgs, some catheter care and standard med kit. While this is helpful with simple low to medium acuity patients. With how they advertise they attract a lot of VERY complex, and chronically ill patients who absolutely don't want to go to the ER even when they need to. For example heart failure, nstemi, non compliant diabetics in dka, strokes, cardiac patients, a lot of bedbound patients. They get pissed when you have to escalate them to the ER for their own safety but with how the company advertises I can't blame them. Poor management results frequently in locations to be closed and people loosing their jobs. Model used to be APP with EMT. Emts are the ones who operate the vehicle, check-in/consent, vitals, and run test while APP orders tests, I interpret results and documents. But due to budget cuts they are getting rid of Emts and yet they want to increase acuity of care. significantly increases the workload and demands of the single APP.
