Where Hospital-At-Home Programs Go Next

The journey of the hospital-at-home model in the U.S. is a compelling one. Much of it has transpired over the last few years, ever since the introduction of the Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver, which allowed health systems to provide acute care in the home during the public health emergency (PHE). Even if the waiver hadn’t been extended, hospital-at-home work would have continued. There are plenty of health systems operating programs outside of the waiver as well. Now that it has been extended, though, it allows providers that had not started on their programs to get going. Kaiser Permanente is one of the health systems that operates within the waiver and outside of it. Dr. Stephen Parodi has overseen the development – and success of those programs. Parodi is the EVP of external affairs, communications and brand at The Permanente Federation and the associate executive director of The Permanente Medical Group.

Medigy Insights

The Hospital-at-Home model is an emerging healthcare delivery model in the U.S. that provides acute care in the patient's home instead of traditional inpatient hospital settings. The introduction of the Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver during the public health emergency has enabled health systems to provide acute care in the home, freeing up hospital beds for COVID-19 patients while reducing the risk of infection transmission. Hospital-at-Home programs continue to grow, with successful programs documented in various studies delivering high-quality care at a lower cost than traditional inpatient hospital care, with higher patient satisfaction levels and lower readmission and mortality rates. Further research is needed to explore the long-term impact of this model on healthcare delivery in the U.S.
