With an aging population and expanding number of Americans with disabilities, there are opportunities to introduce new models of in-home support. While the clinical capabilities of in-home care remain limited, some providers are already looking to expand skilled nursing at-home programs alongside their acute care models. However, as staffing shortages and reimbursement uncertainties continue, some are questioning the long-term viability of patient care inside the home. In this session, we’ll examine the variety and complexities of SNF-at-home models, and how the pandemic has accelerated the public’s acceptance of, and preference for, home health services. This session will cover:
- A review of SNF-at-home models and the positives & negatives of each
- Which type of organizations would most greatly benefit from SNF-at-home model implementation
- Case studies from organizations who advanced SNF-at-home models and the lessons learned
