The hospital-at-home model is transforming acute care by enabling patients to receive treatment in their homes, blending virtual monitoring with in-person visits. Pioneered by systems like Mass General Brigham, these programs address hospital overcrowding while offering personalized care. Patients often recover better at home, away from hospital disruptions, and avoid infections. For instance, Lucia Louis, treated for salmonella at home, experienced greater comfort and privacy compared to the emergency room. Supported by a 2020 federal waiver enabling Medicare reimbursement, the model has grown, with 373 facilities across 39 states participating. Studies show comparable or better outcomes for home-treated patients, especially those with chronic conditions. However, critics argue that the approach burdens families with caregiving responsibilities, risks safety, and may lead to hospital closures. Advocates highlight its benefits in alleviating staff burnout, reducing readmissions, and fostering patient satisfaction. As US Congress debates extending the waiver, this innovative care model’s future hangs in the balance.
