Workshop C
From Implementation to Scale; Clinical, Operational, and Financial Consideration for Growing Care at Home
Experts argue that every healthcare system should be developing a hospital-at-home strategy to remain relevant and able to meet changing consumer expectations, to deliver more equitable care, and to meet the demands of an aging population. Is your organization developing a strategic plan or evaluating your readiness to launch a home-hospital or remote patient management program? What are the essential elements needed to ensure program success and optimize outcomes? What's needed to get stakeholder buy-in and ensure feasibility? How are you identifying patients? How are you delivering timely in-home services? This deep dive workshop will explore and dissect key foundational elements needed for a successful hospital-at-home strategy and how to address common challenges. This engaging workshop will leverage subject matter experts, insights from the participants, and best practices from first-hand experience across topics such as staffing, infrastructure, care coordination, payment models, technology, regulatory factors, metrics for success, and more.
