Background

Hospital at Home provides acute-level care at home and has existed since before the COVID-19 pandemic. While decades of research show that the model provides high-quality care, there was not widespread experience with the model until the establishment of the Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver during the Public Health Emergency.

On September 13, MHH hosted a webinar to hear from policymakers and health care organizations from across the industry with the common goal of ensuring Hospital at Home is a widely available option for patients.
