AcuteCare@Home:
Hospital Without Walls
Situated at the intersection of inpatient and outpatient care -- ER, Urgent Care, and Hospital Substitute for medium complexity acuity. Emergency doctors quickly cure or treat episodic health events. They are rarely trained nor are they equipped to dedicate the additional time required to treat geriatric patients with injuries and multiple chronic conditions. Older adults are especially susceptible to adverse health events resulting from hospitalizations and emergency department visits. They are at a higher risk of falling, developing infections, and experiencing dangerous medication interactions, missed diagnoses, and delirium.
The Sage Hospital-at-Home (H@H) program provides hospital-level care in a patient's home as a full substitute for acute hospital care. This cost-effective tool treats acutely ill older adults, while improving patient safety, quality, and satisfaction. Studies have reported that treating acutely ill older adult patients diagnosed with conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at home rather than in a hospital has many benefits.
