What’s Happening, What’s Next
With more than 125 Full and Affiliate Members, the Hospital at Home Users Group is a dynamic and growing community of hospital at home programs throughout the United States and Canada. Many of our members are participating in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Acute Hospital Care at Home program, either expanding or starting new hospital at home initiatives.
The 2021 Hospital at Home Users Group Annual Meeting—What’s Happening, What’s Next—comes amid a period of transformational growth for hospital at home programs across the country. Spurred by the CMS waiver, health systems and hospitals are exploring how acute care for a wide range of patients and diagnoses can be delivered safely and effectively at home. Looking beyond the public health emergency, all hospital at home programs must consider how to both improve their patient care and respond to an uncertain future.
The Annual Meeting consists of morning and afternoon sessions, featuring presentations from experts in delivering high quality acute care in older people’s homes. Additionally, it includes a poster session, innovation presentations, awards, results from a hospital at home photo contest, and even some hospital at home trivia.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of the pre-conference, participants will:
- Have a clear understanding of recent developments in the hospital at home movement and the Hospital at Home Users Group
- Develop a clear grasp of the current state and future prospects of the hospital at home model and its implementation in diverse settings
- Learn about innovations in hospital at home practice across the US and Canada
