Inside The FDA’s ‘Home As A Health Care Hub’ Initiative
In April, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the launch of a new initiative, Home as a Health Care Hub.The agency views the home as a key care setting that has the potential to drive health care equity forward.That’s why it is seizing the moment, and creating room for experimentation with its current initiative, which will essentially serve as an idea lab that brings together device developers, policymakers, providers and much more.To learn more about this initiative, Home Health Care News caught up with Dr. Michelle Tarver, deputy director for transformation at the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).Everyone was forced to receive care at home. In many situations – because the health care system was overly taxed, overly stretched – it really did put, front and center, the importance of us considering what devices potentially need to be able to work in the home, and how we can integrate input from those devices, so that the providers can deliver good care.

Those are the areas we’re really focusing on.The second way is we have health care providers that are part of the research committee, and are sharing their insights as we are developing the prototype. The other way is there are focus groups that we are going to be using as we’re developing the prototype with the health care provider community. Lastly, we will be having a public meeting where anyone from the public can share their thoughts and perspectives with the agency, as we are developing this prototype. We’re using all the vehicles we can think of, in order to garner input from the public about the effort.
