Scaling the Hospital-at-Home model has been challenging since its inception, but one key solution is to expand its reach to diverse patient populations. This pre-conference forum will explore how to increase access to this model for a wide range of patients, with a particular emphasis on underserved communities. While Hospital-at-Home programs have demonstrated success in urban areas, their implementation remains scarce in rural regions where access to care is limited. This forum will address how transformative Hospital-at-Home solutions can help bridge the gap in health equity, tackle industry-wide health disparities, and support efforts to broaden access to care. Join other healthcare leaders and stakeholders in driving meaningful change towards more equitable healthcare delivery. This forum is essential for Hospital-at-Home program leaders and health system executives championing inclusive, patient-centered care and advancing health equity.

Topics include:
• Defining Equity in Hospital at Home (60 min.)
• Social Screening (75 min.)
• Rural Care Setting (30 min.)
• Economics of Hospital at Home (30 min.)
• Metrics and Measurement (30 min.)
• Advocacy (30 min.)

From Setback to Solutions: Transforming Hospital-at-Home Care in the US, Lessons from Leaders Who Achieved an ADC of 100

GREGORY GOODMAN, MD, Associate Physician, Mass General Brigham Home Hospital; Instructor, Harvard Medical School and Medical Director, Maribel and KAREN TITCHENER, MSC, NP, Vice President, Hospital-at-Operations, Maribel

Hospital at Home has been proven to deliver better clinical outcomes, generate enhanced patient satisfaction, and reduce costs. But despite this potential, US Hospital-at-Home programs have not fulfilled their promise with most programs failing to scale. In fact, CMS reported outcomes showed that in 2023: less than 9% of waiver-approved hospitals accounted for > 70% of all US admissions (which represented only 0.01% of Medicare admissions across all programs); nearly two-thirds of hospitals had zero admissions; and of the 109 hospitals reporting volume, the average weekly admissions was < 2 patients per hospital. Join us to discuss lessons learned from Hospital-at-Home leaders on how to transform your program and overcome program growth and quality challenges. • Develop a strategic approach to patient eligibility and payer expansion that will improve ADC and enable scaling • Review tactics to achieve a > 65% patient acceptance using “the art of consent” and simplified workflow logistics
• Discover a novel approach to rapid staff on-boarding and effective, simulation-based training to mitigate staffing constraints
• Analyze the ideal program organizational structure for operational and service excellence

Track A: Optimizing Your In-Home Provider Workforce: The Role of Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) Providers and Community Paramedics

JACOB KEEPERMAN, MD, FACEP, FAEMS, FCCM, Medical Director, Global Medical Response

This session will provide insight into the optimal utilization of mobile integrated healthcare providers and community paramedics as the ideal in-home clinicians.  There will be a focus on the ideal training, skills, capabilities, oversight, and medical direction necessary for your program to flourish.

11:20 am – 12:00 pm
The Economics of Hospital at Home: Payer Perspectives

TOM KIESAU, Chief Innovation Officer and Leader, Chartis Digital

The CMS Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver catalyzed significant adoption of hospital-at-home (H@H) programs across the country. As we await decisions regarding the waiver’s extension at a federal level, and as states grapple with their policies, we continue to see significant variability in the extent to which Commercial, Medicare Advantage, and Managed Medicaid plans are embracing this care model. In this session, hear from a panel of health plan executives as they share their perspectives regarding H@H and other home-based care models and the financing and economics that may help – or hinder – this future care delivery paradigm.
