Community Savings:

IHS has a proven track record of successfully keeping high utilizers out of hospitals, emergency rooms, and jails. In the six months prior to joining our program, our three featured residents generated a total of 4 ICU stays, 60 ER visits, and 199 police calls. All of these events were preventable.

In the last 6 months, all three residents have had NO preventable events — a cost saving of $199,800.

Applied to all 16 similar residents this equates to a cost savings to the Commonwealth of $1,065,599 every six months.

In addition to monetary savings, our program provides relief to our first responders, emergency room providers, crisis clinicians, and hospital staff.
