Register for the upcoming Hospital at Home Users Group webinar, #AgeFriendly Beyond the Hospital: Innovation in #HospitalatHome, on April 11th at 4 pm ET!    Age-Friendly Health Systems is an ongoing, multi-year initiative led by The John A. Hartford Foundation and Institute for Healthcare Improvement to improve the quality and effectiveness of care of older adults across practice settings by employing an evidence-based, person-centered framework known as the 4Ms: What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility.     Age-friendly health care principles have been integrated into many care settings, but there is no established playbook for Hospital at Home programs. While the HaH model inherently addresses key principles of age-friendly care, there is room to incorporate even more of these ideas in practice—and a number of HaH program sare developing innovative approaches.    Attend this webinar to learn more about the basics of age-friendly health care and the 4Ms framework, the preliminary research about the 4Ms in HaH, and how programs are adapting and implementing the 4Ms model in practice.    Register here: https://lnkd.in/gHuus4vp

In 2017, Rush University Medical Center (RUMC), a 671-bed hospital in Chicago mainly serving the city’s West Side, recognized the need to re-engineer its delivery systems to address population health, reduce health inequities, and combat chronic diseases while controlling healthcare costs. RUMC came to HCCI to address this problem—and in 2018, the Rush@Home house call program was created. The results were clear: home-based primary care improves health outcomes and lowers overall costs of care. Overall, costs were reduced by 34%, there were 18% fewer hospitalizations, and a 21% reduction in emergency room visits. Further, a six-month study showed that a program with 200 Medicare Shared Savings Program patients could generate over $3 million in savings ($15,000 in savings per patient). Looking at these results, it’s clear—the future of sustainable and quality care is in the home. HCCI’s work to increase access to home-based primary care is more important than ever.
