Growing Hospital-at-Home Services Indicate Healthcare Transformation
Due to health systems' capacity issues and struggles with high costs, hospital-at-home services are growing more popular and producing patient benefits, new research shows. Provided by PA Consulting Group, new data indicates that not only do healthcare providers have the necessary tools to transition to hospital-at-home services, but they also believe these services will save patients time and money.

Although many intended for these tools to be a temporary substitute for in-person care, they provided new levels of patient support and care access. According to the FAIR Health Monthly Telehealth Regional Tracker, telehealth use increased nationally and in all US Census regions in January. Although there were variations in telehealth type and treated specialties, this data highlights the ongoing high usage of virtual care.
