Hospital at Home Programs: Post-Pandemic
Thursday, September 25, 5 p.m. Central Time
Hospital at home is not a new medium of acute care, however during the pandemic, it became more mainstream to help alleviate capacity struggles. In 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) initiated a waiver called Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) under section 1135. This waiver allowed hospital systems to offer acute inpatient care to patients in their own homes with greater flexibility. This waiver is set to expire soon and many healthcare organizations are hesitant to continue their hospital at home programs without its support.
This presentation will provide a detailed description of the pending legislation as well as a review of Hospital at Home readmission rates, mortality rates, and reimbursement.
