DIHI.org Introductory Article (link)
Problem: Duke Health hospitals are often at capacity and there are patients who receive care in this high-cost setting who could potentially be treated at home.
Solution: We will provide Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) care, an innovative delivery model treating patients for hospital conditions in the comfort of their own home.
Goals: (1) Prove that we are able to safely provide acute care in the home. (2) Increase efficient bed management at Duke Health inpatient facilities. (3) Provide acute care in a more cost-effective manner.
