Summary
UMass Memorial Health's Hospital-at-Home program has successfully admitted its 3,000th patient, highlighting its role in providing effective care while easing the burden on traditional hospitals. Initiated in August 2021 due to increased patient volumes during the COVID-19 pandemic, the program utilizes telehealth, remote monitoring, and in-home services to deliver hospital-level care for conditions such as pneumonia and heart failure. Supported by federal waivers for reimbursement, the program has expanded steadily, requiring robust technology infrastructure for efficient care coordination, including patient monitoring devices linked to the health system's Epic EMR.
