AHA Supports Legislation to Continue Hospital-at-Home Model
The American Hospital Association (AHA) has expressed strong support for the continuation of the hospital-at-home (H@H) model through the Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act. They emphasize the transformative impact of H@H programs on healthcare delivery, providing high-quality care in patients' homes, particularly for medium acuity patients. AHA highlights research demonstrating improved outcomes and patient experiences with H@H, citing a randomized control trial showing reduced hospital readmissions. AHA advocates for long-term stability in the H@H program, which currently operates under public health emergency waivers. They stress the logistical and financial investment required to establish H@H services and urge Congress to extend the program beyond 2024 to provide certainty for providers. AHA stands ready to collaborate on implementing a permanent H@H program that ensures safe hospital-level care at home for eligible patients.
