Hospital at home programs can enable systems to expand access, increase acute care capacity, reduce cost of care, and stay competitive as care delivery continues to shift outside traditional facility-based settings. In addition to being enthusiastic about the operational, economic, and strategic benefits of hospital at home programs, healthcare leaders are driven by well-validated quality metrics that demonstrate benefits to both patient experience and outcomes (e.g., fewer adverse events and readmissions, boosted sleep time, and reduced mortality rates).¹  \nYet as many who have ventured into this new world of distributed acute care have learned, it can be an arduous journey to grow programs to sufficient scale and ensure long-term viability. While many factors can inhibit growth, the most prevalent factor we see across the industry occurs before a patient is even admitted to the virtual hospital. Far too many programs lack resilient and seamless processes to identify and admit eligible patients, which could represent as much as 25% of acute care patients, based on today’s defined clinical use cases.*  \nWhile many programs’ volumes remain well below even conservative targets, there are ways to boost admissions. The first step is to streamline operating processes that help identify patients who meet administrative, clinical, and social eligibility criteria. Next, health systems must address several key factors that can inhibit patient admission and significantly reduce the volume of potential patients who benefit from the hospital at home care model. The ability to more effectively identify and “capture” volume is mission critical for increasing daily census and achieving sustainable economics.  \n*Estimates vary across peer-reviewed research  \nUnlock Growth for Your Hospital-at-Home Program: 4 Key Considerations  \n4 Key Considerations to Widen the Funnel and Increase Patient Capture  \nClinical and operational leaders at health systems must intentionally address 4 key considerations to widen the funnel and increase patient capture. Hospital at home leadership should address issues with targeted, prioritized interventions and track their progress over time to accelerate growth and achieve scale. With this agile mindset and data-driven approach, leadership can well-position this care model to push past boundaries and rapidly improve performance.  \n\n|  | KEY CONSIDERATIONS | POTENTIALLY LIMITING ISSUES |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| | CAPABILITIES\u003Cbr>Add new capabilities in resources, technology, or vendors that can enable the hospital-athome program to better care for patients ina dispersed model. | z Hospital at home nurses do not have mobile phlebotomy competency.\u003Cbr>z Hospital at home does not have processes to support controlled substances administration.\u003Cbr>z Hospital at home does not have a technical solution for telemetry monitoring. |\n| | CLINICIAN READINESS\u003Cbr>Improve support from the providers and staff for the hospital at home program as an extension of the hospital services to broaden adoption and the willingness to adjust the patient care plan. | z Provider is reluctant to adjust care plan to accommodate care model constraints (e.g., medicine administration >2x per day).\u003Cbr>z Some patient candidates are overlooked in the patient hand-off process from Emergency Department to hospital at home.\u003Cbr>z Poorly designed electronic health record (EHR) admission workflows discourage providers from referring patients to hospital at home. |\n| | PATIENT & CAREGIVER ACTIVATION\u003Cbr>Spark patient and caregiver interest and provide important education for increased willingness to participate in the hospital at home program. | z Patient is uncomfortable with hospital at home.\u003Cbr","cbCaig02qCLg0a5u","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig02qCLg0a5u","pdf",761622,9,"English","# 4 Key Considerations to Widen the Funnel and Increase Patient Capture\n## Capabilities\n## Clinician Readiness\n## Patient & Caregiver Activation\n## Capacity\n## Widen the Funnel from Top to Bottom\n## Total Serviceable Population","[{\"question\":\"Why is scaling a hospital at home program difficult before patients are admitted?\",\"answer\":\"Many programs lack resilient, seamless processes to identify and admit eligible patients.
