WEBINAR | Sizing and Scaling a Hospital at Home Program

Heather O’Sullivan, MS, RN, A-GNP, President, Healthcare at Home, Mass General; Christopher Sharp, MD, Chief Medical Information Officer, Stanford Health Care; Michael Capriotti, MBA, Senior Vice President, Integration and Strategic Operations, Virtua Health; and Thomas Kiesau, Director and Leader, Chartis. A confluence of market forces is accelerating the role of the home as a site of care, and executive teams are faced with deciding the role patients’ homes play within their clinical network and whether to shape the future of acute care or be shaped by it. Hospital at Home is one of many opportunities to rethink the role the home plays as a site of care—especially in the acute setting—and one that lays essential foundation for other use cases. Additionally, given hospital reimbursement parity under the CMS waiver and evolving policy insights regarding its staying power, Hospital at Home is a pragmatic place to start. The challenge is that health systems are struggling with determining feasibility of these programs in the first place, and if they pursue the programs, determining how to effectively scale their programs.
