Report reveals how 24/7 integrated virtual and in-home care helps children with special health care needs have more safe days at home
NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- New data from Imagine Pediatrics shows that a 24/7 integrated virtual and in-home care model can reduce preventable emergency department and urgent care visits, improve outcomes, and lower costs for children with special health care needs at a time when inpatient pediatric care units are closing at a rate that's catching many communities off guard.
In its first annual Impact Report, Imagine Pediatrics details how its pediatrician-led, multidisciplinary care teams have supported more than 70,000 children with special health care needs with 300,000+ virtual and in-home encounters helping them avoid more than 5,000 preventable hospital visits, decrease Admissions Per Thousand (APK) by 24%, and achieve more than 8,350 safe days at home. The model has also generated more than $65 million in health plan savings for two health plan partners. Delivered via value-based care arrangements with Medicaid and commercial health plans and other risk-based organizations, and in partnership with risk-based providers, specialists, and community resources, the model integrates medical, behavioral, and social care to keep children stable and safe at home.
"Behind every data point in this report is a child who spent more safe days at home, a caregiver who felt less alone, and a care team that strives to create a world where every child with special health care needs gets the care and support they deserve," said George Boghos, CEO of Imagine Pediatrics. "As pediatric systems face growing access and capacity challenges, these results demonstrate that personalized care that integrates medical, behavioral and social care into a 24/7 virtual and in-home care model increases access, improves outcomes and lowers cost."

- 70,000+ children with special health care needs served
