Health at Home White Paper 2021
In the wake of COVID-19, health at home is growing in popularity as provider organizations seek to deliver high-quality, lower-cost patient care while minimizing the health risks associated with the hospital environment. To this end, organizations have begun offering acute care services at home, in addition to existing post–acute care options. The technology, supplies, services, and staffing needed for health at home can be quite complex, and the many interdependent pieces may be adopted à la carte or as a comprehensive offering. To help provider organizations better understand this dynamic market, this paper establishes a health at home framework and answers key questions about what provider organizations may want to consider for their own health at home strategies. While KLAS’ customer satisfaction research for health at home is emerging, we have existing data for areas like home health, hospice, and private duty/personal care; links to this data are provided where appropriate.
