CHICAGO – Planning for hospital-at-home has increased considerably, according to a new survey from Chartis Group. Four out of five respondents to the 2022 survey report that they have plans for hospital-at-home compared to two out of three to the 2021 survey, according to “The Race Toward Digital Transformation: 2022 Health System Survey.” “Digital transformation is no longer an opt-in priority for hospitals and health systems,” the report states. “It is a necessary journey for them to not only plan but implement – and time is of the essence. New market entrants are disrupting the digital health space and quickly raising the competitive bar for what patient consumers expect from their care experiences. Without immediate action, provider organizations risk losing their ability to attract new patients, retain their existing ones, build robust provider networks and enter new markets.” Nearly all executives (99%) say it’s important to invest in digital transformation. The top reasons why? To improve outcomes (61%) and reduce cost of care (23%).
