Key Factors Behind The Adoption Surge Of Hospital-At-Home Programs
The surge in hospital-at-home (HaH) program adoption is driven by advanced medical technologies and supportive government reimbursement policies. Technologies like remote patient monitoring (RPM) enable hospital-level care in patients' homes. Critical to this growth is the Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) waiver introduced by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in the United States, facilitating reimbursement for at-home acute care. As of March 2023, 277 hospitals in 37 states have embraced this initiative. However, the future sustainability of HaH programs beyond the AHCAH waiver's December 2024 expiration remains uncertain, pending potential congressional action.
