Research: Maximizing the Indirect Benefits of Hospital at Home

The healthcare landscape is rapidly transforming, with hospital-at-home programs leading the way. A new study from Virtua Health, in partnership with Best Buy Health, uncovers the often untapped benefits of these programs. Beyond improving patient outcomes, hospital-at-home models can drive system-wide improvements that enhance care coordination, staff engagement, and technology adoption.

Key Findings:

1. Reduced Hospital Stays: Patients, even those not enrolled in hospital at home, experienced shorter stays due to faster care coordination.
2. Higher Staff Satisfaction: The hospital-at-home program’s team-based approach resulted in engagement scores 12% above the national average.
3. Enhanced Virtual Care: By integrating wearable devices and video consultations, hospital at home ensures better patient monitoring and specialist involvement.

This study offers actionable insights and data for healthcare leaders looking to strengthen home-based care models.
