TRACK A / This Stuff is Hard…but Worth it: Differences in Clinical Practice in Hospital at Home

The goal of hospital-at-home care is to approximate that of the traditional bricks-and-mortar hospital. Hospital at home, though, is a complex model to coordinate logistically and aims to provide a more patient-centered delivery. In order to scale hospital-at-home programs safely due to factors related to delivering care in the home or factors that drive an improved patient experience, hospital at home requires programs to evaluate certain situations and approach them differently. By re-evaluating these situations, hospital at home can provide a more positive care experience, reducing over-utilization, while maintaining high quality care. This interactive session will cover case-based scenarios where there are unique situations in hospital at home and the considerations programs must need in operation of their hospital-at-home units. Examples that will be discussed include: timing of medications and infusions, lab testing and point-of-care use, deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis and glycemic management.

TRACK A / Beyond the Waiver: Exploring CMS and Non-Waiver Care-at-Home Models as Distinct and Complementary Strategies to Improve Transitions, Expand Capacity, and Enhance Outcomes

The fragmentation of care across the acute, subacute, and post-acute phases often results in multiple transitions of care, creating gaps that negatively impact patient outcomes. Limited access to timely primary and specialty care following discharge can exacerbate these issues, leading to emergency room overcrowding, hospital capacity constraints, and rising readmissions. Hospital-at-home programs supported by CMS waivers have shown promise by delivering hospital-level care in the home environment, addressing many of these challenges. However, not all hospitals—particularly smaller or resource-limited ones—are able to meet the regulatory and infrastructure demands of the CMS waiver program. This session will explore how comprehensive CMS waiver hospital-at-home programs and non-waiver early supported discharge models can function as complementary pathways within a broader continuum of home-based care. Together, these models can be integrated into a unified framework that supports patients throughout their care journey—from acute hospitalization to recovery at home—helping to reduce strain on health systems while ensuring continuity, safety, and quality of care. »»» Identify the impact of fragmented care across acute, subacute, and post-acute phases on patient outcomes and healthcare system capacity »»» Explore challenges in post-discharge access to primary and specialty care that drive avoidable ED visits and hospital readmissions »»» Examine how CMS waiver-based hospital-at-home programs and alternative non-waiver models can demonstrate value within a comprehensive home-based care continuum, particularly in supporting small and large health systems to improve transitions
