Hospitals without Walls: The Future of Healthcare
January 22, 2024, 9:00 a.m. – 9:45 a.m.
In the wake of the pandemic, doctors and designers are radically adapting their thinking about what a hospital can be and what it should deliver. The healthcare industry as we know it is undergoing a monumental transformation as providers increasingly connect with patients outside of a hospital’s four walls to enable more care and healing at home. Telehealth is quickly becoming a new best practice in the industry and accepted way to enhance the patient experience and improve patient outcomes, all while potentially lowering the cost of care. Rather than serving as hubs of all care, hospitals are fast becoming centers of excellence for specialized care or highly acute conditions, and health care systems are turning to hospital-at-home models of care for other services traditionally delivered in person. With these shifts, telehealth becomes the patient’s first point of access for urgent care, consultations with a specialist, self-care education, chronic care management, and more. While COVID-19 was certainly a catalyst for this transition, telehealth utilization has stabilized at levels higher than before the pandemic – a clear sign that it is here to stay. This session will explore hospital-at-home models.

Speaker

Vivian Reyes, MD, national physician lead, Kaiser Permanente Care at Home, The Permanente Federation, and regional medical director, The Permanente Medical Group

Panel: Hospital at Home Success Stories
January 22, 2024, 2:15 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.
How can a healthcare organization provide high-quality hospital-level care to acutely ill older adults in their home that improves outcomes, reduces health care costs, and enhances the patient experience? Hospital at Home is an innovative care model being adopted by health care organizations that provides hospital-level care in a patient’s home as a full substitute for acute hospital care. The program is being implemented at numerous sites around the country by hospitals, health systems, home care providers, and managed care programs as a tool to cost-effectively treat acutely ill older adults, while improving patient safety, quality, and satisfaction. In this session you will hear success stories from leaders in the hospital at home field.
