HOSPITAL AT HOME

Hospital-level care is moving. To your home, our homes. One thing we learned from COVID-19, is that healthcare can be provided when the patient is home. With healthcare costs on the rise, the shift is happening at a quicker pace and the concept is proving to be successful. Hospital at home programs provide physician visits, drugs, monitoring, nursing services, diagnostics, and other services typically reserved for patients in inpatient settings.

Delivering care at home is suitable for elderlies, mobility impaired individuals, high-risk patients with chronic conditions or those who are healthy and at low risk.

What are the benefits?

Better clinical outcomes
High quality and clinically efficient care
Shorter average hospital stays
Higher patient and family satisfaction
Fewer lab and diagnostic tests compared to similar hospitalized patients
Fewer complications often associated with hospital stays
Lower care costs compared to traditional inpatient care

For health institutions, adopting a hospital at home program can:

Increase bed capacity to treat higher acuity patients
Free up resources for more urgent needs
Extend care to patients in a lower-cost environment (i.e., the home)
Ensure patients avoid hospital-acquired illnesses and infection (for which hospitals are penalized)
Provide an alternative for patients wary of a hospital stays
