Lifespark was interviewed by Senior Housing News where Lifespark CEO, Joel Theisen, shared our why and vision for adding Urgent Response Services to our Lifespark COMPLETE offerings. This addition is aimed at cutting down on unnecessary urgent care and hospital visits and meeting demand for more value-based care arrangements.
Through its new urgent response team, Lifespark can in a resident’s home provide much of what an emergency room doctor could provide in a hospital, including x-rays, lab work, EKGs and sutures. The overall goal is to bolster and add to the number of services that Lifespark already provides.
“We are the EMS system,” Thiesen said. “We can either deal with that over the phone, we can do a telehealth visit, or we can actually pick and send people out urgently into the home.”
