WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 25, 2022) The bipartisan Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act is new legislation introduced in both the Senate and House of Representatives that would extend the acute care hospital at home waiver program. Initially introduced in November 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), the program provides an alternative setting of care for certain conditions, such as asthma, pneumonia and COPD.
Hospitals are starting to provide health care in patients' homes, including things like x-rays and bloodwork. The approach saves a hospital bed for more urgent needs and lets patients heal in comfort.
A WESTERN Health and Social Care Trust (Western Trust) pilot project for Fermanagh and West Tyrone has been successfully launched to help make the home a hub for delivering health and care for our elderly population. A hospital at home service – referred to as Acute Care At Home – has been in place in the Northern sector of the Trust since 2014, with the service providing treatment by health care professionals in a person’s own home for a condition that would otherwise require acute hospital in-patient care. The Acute Care At Home service provides triage, assessment and treatment where appropriate as an alternative to in-patient care specifically for those who are at risk of requiring admission to hospital.
