Scaling and Dissemination of Hospital at Home in the Time of COVID-19 and Beyond
Grant Summary
This project will improve the care of older adults by expediting the dissemination of Hospital at Home, a model developed to safely and effectively provide hospital-level care in the home. Due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, there is heightened reason to favor acute care in the home and avoid hospitalization. The project team will continue to provide leadership and technical assistance through the national Hospital at Home User Group, assisting providers to successfully apply for and comply with the new CMS acute hospital care at home waiver. The project team will use this opportunity to further demonstrate the Hospital at Home model as a necessary care option in the time of COVID-19 and beyond.
