Hospital at Home (HaH) is a healthcare delivery model in which patients receive hospital-level care in the comfort of their own homes for conditions that otherwise would have required inpatient treatment. Within hospital management, this model aims to provide a patient-centered, cost-effective alternative that can reduce the demand on hospital resources and improve patient outcomes and satisfaction. Services typically include professional nursing care, remote monitoring, daily physician visits, and the delivery of medications and medical equipment. The integration of HaH into hospital management strategies often requires the adaptation of traditional hospital workflows, rigorous patient selection criteria, and the development of robust telehealth capabilities. HaH models can also pose challenges for hospital management, including the need for efficient logistics, coordinationwith third-party service providers, and ensuring appropriate communication between all parties involved. However, when effectively managed, HaH programs are recognized for reducing readmissions and complications, enhancing patient autonomy, and providing a holistic approach to care that extends beyond the conventional hospital setting. Several companies in the Hospital at Home market that facilitate these services include Medically Home, DispatchHealth, Contessa Health, and Heal. These companies typically collaborate with healthcare systems to deliver comprehensive at-home hospital-level care, leveraging technology and customized clinical protocols. Show Less Read more
