Craig Joseph, MDExcellent article from UCSF Hospitals leaders suggesting that #HospitalAtHome programs need to take a page from the success of #HospitalMedicine and specifically make quality, operational, and business cases for #HaH programs. I'm in! https://www.healthaffairs.org/content/forefront/can-hospital-home-finally-hit-its-tipping-point-lessons-hospitalist-field
Who would've thought that we be treating acutely ill patients in their homes, often using technology that typically lives in hospitals?

Bedroom blunders: The hidden usability issues of hospital-at-home devices
As more medical devices are being used to care for patients outside the hospital and inside the home, manufacturers need to consider usability challenges to maintain patient safety and improve outcomes. Learn more from Craig Joseph, MD.
Gabriele Pollara@macesari thank you for sharing this. We have a growing Hospital at Home service. It is great, but it needs to be properly managed and have great communication (& people) to avoid anyone feeling like they are practicing less safe medicine. As the paper says, safety-nets are key. At multiple levels! #medicine #elderly #OPAT #HospitalAtHome

WonderfulIn the future, patients won’t go to the hospital—it will come to them
Virtual wards provide people with remote care and monitoring, allowing patients to go home sooner and hospitals to run more efficiently.

Jennifer Moore 😷Interesting story! esp in view of the shortages of hospital space in the UK at the moment.

But we have strong evidence that the outcomes are actually better at home.” The hospital-at-home movement is just getting started https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/19/health/medicare-home-hospital.html?searchResultPosition=1 @[email protected]

JaneSproatEach week in the #VirtualWards team who run a Community of Practice which is the highlight of the week. This weeks was a focus on #UnpaidCarers and it blew me away. From the carer who set the tone and the importance of this work (wife was in hospital 16 times last year, 3 times this year thanks to #HospitalAtHome to #VCSE #ICB Carer Leadership to #National collaboration. Really inspiring! All our sessions are on FutureNHS but how could we share more here? What would people like to hear about?
