UK Hospital at Home Society.
Welcome to the UK Hospital at Home Society, which is devoted to Hospital at Home (HaH) services. This website is a resource for NHS practitioners and managers, policy makers, patients and caregivers, and the academic community.
As demand for value-based care rises while pressure on providing hospital beds also increases, healthcare service providers are turning to the innovative Hospital at Home care model as an alternative, cost-effective solution that also reduces risks for patients.
The Society’s Core Purposes include:
-
Advice Exchange - To exchange practical advice and experience in implementing admission avoidance hospital-at-home services.
-
Research - To further develop evidence-based specialist services for people who require them by encouraging and disseminating research into HaH
-
Integration - To integrate HaH services with specialty services
-
Policy - To help shape policy, based on the current evidence base, and update members about policy initiatives (both in the UK and elsewhere) and the progress of research into HaH
-
Benchmarks & Best Practices – To act as a medium to benchmark HaH standards of care and best practices
-
Raising Awareness – To increase awareness of the essential place HaH has in any health system, to provide patient benefits and aid sustainability
