Hospital-at-Home: Financial Benefits and Superior Member Satisfaction

The godfather of Hospital-at-Home, Dr. Bruce Leff projected, “One day, hospitals will just be ERs, intensive care units, and operating rooms. Everyone else will be treated at home.​” Waiting to see how this plays out may put healthcare systems at a disadvantage. They must evaluate Hospital-at-Home’s role within their enterprise. ​Given hospital-reimbursement-parity under Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) waiver and bi-Congress legislation, Hospital-at-Home’s a pragmatic starting point. However, most struggle with determining program feasibility in the first place and how to scale. Of the 330 hospitals with the waiver, we estimate 50 percent have launched and fewer have scaled their programs. Hear from one of the biggest U.S. Hospital-at-Home operations on how to dispel common myths that weaken the business case, and discrete ways Hospital-at-Home creates financial value. They’ll outline how to build the business case and how to scale the program. Learn success factors and an actionable framework to apply in your organization.
