HOME CARE

Hospital at home concept advances

Hundreds of hospitals across the country have launched an acute care at home program, focused on treating patients at home versus in a hospital bed. Many of those hospitals are following the Acute Hospital Care at Home model developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which sets strict guidelines for in-person care to qualify for Medicare reimbursement.

More than 270 hospitals in more than 120 health systems are currently following CMS Acute Hospital Care at Home program model, with the CMS waivers remaining in place until the end of 2024.

With the uncertain policy and regulation landscape as a backdrop, health systems are developing their own acute care at home programs.
