Thanks to COVID-19, CMS launched the Acute Hospital Care at Home initiative in November 2020, which allowed certain hospitals to treat patients with inpatient-level care at home. Follow-up data showed the outcomes for patients treated at home were comparable or better to those treated in the hospital – with lower rates of readmission and complications AND higher patient satisfaction rates.
Clearly, advanced technology and multidisciplinary teams of healthcare providers are enabling patients and their care teams to achieve these results. So, H@H can work at Mayo, UCSF, and Cedars, can home-based care reduce healthcare costs everywhere?
During our Members’ Discussion, we’ll probe the pros-and-cons of the “Hospital at Home” movement: the opportunities for advanced medical technology and the challenges for the brick-and-mortar facilities, And, the concern about finding sufficient clinical staffing. Then, we’ll hear What’s Keeping You Up Nights? And, our Featured (new) Member, Bob Rose, will share his experience with the interest in both “Hospital in the Home,” “SNF in the Home” and Remote Patient Monitoring – and new players advancing all three.
Bob Rose co-founded MedWand in 2014, originally in a partnership between Bob’s other company, Cypher Scientific, an engineering design firm, and the physician co-inventor. Earlier, Bob spent 30 years in engineering, operations management and manufacturing for Toshiba America, Tandy Corp, CompUSA, Systemax, Wyle Systems, and RED Digital Cinema. Now, through Rose Strategic Partners, Bob works with several firms, including MedWand, where he serves as a Strategic Advisor, and new players entering the “in the Home” market.
