BOSTON – The Connected Health Collaborative Community (CHcc), which is co-hosted by the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) and the Consume Technology Association, has launched its inaugural open-source resources to help scale hospital-at-home (HaH) programs to equip stakeholders with free tools to transition HaH from a temporary policy initiative to a permanent, sustainable model of care. Resources include:
-
A patient journey map
-
Technical and operational considerations
-
Program evaluation and reimbursement pathways, and
-
Pillars of successful implementation
“At a time when government funding for health care is being reduced, hospital-at-home programs offer a lifeline to maintain access to essential services,” said Benjamin Vandendriessche, chief delivery officer, DiMe. “By delivering high-quality care in the home at a fraction of the cost of traditional hospital stays, these programs help health systems preserve critical services. Hospital-at-home is not just a cost-saving measure, it’s a sustainable model that protects patient care, supports frontline staff, and ensures communities continue to receive the care they need, even in a time of economic and policy uncertainty.” CHcc counts UMass Chan Medical School’s Program in Digital Medicine as founding Impact Sponsor.
