Care at Home: Solving Capacity, Market, and Workforce Challenges
A comprehensive and integrated care-at-home strategy is key to improving capacity and access issues, managing cost and market pressures, and navigating operational and workforce challenges.
While healthcare providers are increasingly developing and implementing care-at-home initiatives, efforts have been siloed. The care-at-home point of view for hospitals, health systems, and other healthcare providers is becoming increasingly clear. Multiple pain points are driving toward adoption of a more comprehensive care-at-home strategy, which can improve clinical, financial, and operational challenges. It can also provide better, more accessible care experiences.
In this white paper, Guidehouse and Current Health, a Best Buy Health company, provide guidance on building an enterprise strategy for care at home. A comprehensive care-at-home strategy spans a spectrum of innovative virtual and hybrid care delivery models—including remote monitoring for chronic conditions and in-home services that may have traditionally been delivered within facilities. In an increasingly complex market, the flexibility of care-at-home strategies to pursue a variety of goals provides healthcare leaders with a powerful tool for safeguarding today’s care delivery models while building toward the healthcare we want tomorrow.
