Session: High-Acuity Care Transcending Hospital Walls
There’s no place like home, said anyone bound to a brick and mortar hospital for high acuity care. What if technology could enable true hospital-at-home, high-quality care? Created by shifting economic models, COVID-19, and a preference by patients to receive care in the home, innovators have worked to pioneer a hospital without walls model, extending traditional hospital services beyond the campus to treat patients where they live. This elite group of panelists will discuss how technology, equipment, data, and other telehealth tools are enabling typical inpatient hospital care delivery in the home. Transcending conventional and costly hospital models, and the typical scope of remote patient monitoring (RPM) and home health services, join these professionals as they investigate this acute care paradigm shift to keep patients at home sweet home.
