A private hospital group in the Middle East is bringing the hospital to patients at home. The care team uses in-home devices to monitor patients and a phone app to deliver device and patient-generated data to its EMR. The physicians and nurses making virtual house calls have all the information they need, using familiar software, for optimal, personalized care. “Hospital at Home” is a model for delivering acute, inpatient-level care within the patient’s home. It leverages remote monitoring and interoperability as a digital-first practice. Hospital at Home is widely adopted in Australia, England, Finland, Canada, and Israel, and is gaining traction in the US. It provides a level of patient-provider communication and clinical oversight not otherwise possible outside the hospital.
