On September 27, 2023, Krista Drobac, Founder of Moving Health Home, spoke on a panel at the Rock Health Summit titled, “Health in the Home: Innovations in Care.” Krista advocated for the development of policies that allow Americans to receive health care within the home.
Krista Drobac of Moving Health Home commented on how shifting care to the home flips the power dynamic for individuals who, in many cases, were justifiably suspicious of the health care setting. Examples from across the industry have shown that there is a greater amount of patient trust when the provider is the invited guest in the home. It’s a mutual benefit for providers, as delivering care in the home provides the unique opportunity to address a broader range of SDOH factors, with the overall outcome boosting equitable care.
In thinking through logistics, elevating the home to a facility capable of providing care underscores a need to address accessibility and home modifications quickly and efficiently. This extension of care also requires an expansion of the labor market to provide reliable and supported in-home care. This brings in the need to address multi-user care for the caregiver, provider, and patient in designing thoughtfully connected care networks.
