Mobile Observation Unit

MOU—Mobile Observation Unit—provides home-based urgent care for patients experiencing at-risk medical events believed to be treatable at home with enhanced care. It is a high-quality alternative to emergency services and hospitalization for patients in the Greater Boston area who would benefit from additional medical treatment and support in the home. A nurse practitioner visits the patient's home for a clinical evaluation, coordinating care with the patient's primary care providers, other clinicians and family members.
