CHCF Report: Medical Care at Home Comes of Age
The California Health Care Foundation (CHCF) has published a report, "Medical Care at Home Comes of Age."
Over the last 30 years, a variety of home-based medical care models have been developed to address gaps in health care delivery, especially for people with multiple chronic conditions and functional impairments. These models are becoming increasingly important as patients seek care that is person-centered and meets their complex needs. The ongoing COVID-19 crisis has also drawn into sharp focus the need for care models that go beyond the traditional “bricks and mortar” of physician offices and hospitals.
This report aims to make it easier for policymakers, health plans, and health systems to understand the why, what, and how of home-based medical care models. Health care stakeholders can use this information to support purposeful program planning and creative implementation, and to identify opportunities to form a full-fledged home- and community-based service delivery ecosystem.
