Building healthcare around the patient, not the clinic
The Blueprint
The Blueprint brings you through every critical step to implement a HaH program—from building stakeholder buy-in and designing patient workflows to implementing technology and securing sustainable reimbursement. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to optimize an existing program, you’ll find evidence-based insights and actionable tools to ensure your HaH initiative delivers exceptional patient outcomes while driving organizational value.

We have been working with DiMe to shift the industry’s focus toward the patient experience in hospital-at-home settings. The patient journey map and implementation pillars have given our team essential frameworks to evaluate and develop new use cases that support patients at key moments throughout their healthcare journey. While some technological enhancements are needed in industry leading solutions, these collaborative resources provide a foundation for systematically addressing those challenges. I’m energized by how this workgroup has brought together diverse stakeholders to create practical tools that will drive hospital-at-home forward with patients at the center of innovation.
