Will Hospital-at-Home Go Mainstream?
In June 2023, Jordan Stohler, a nurse from Knoxville, TN, was readmitted to Fort Sanders Medical Center with sepsis following a double mastectomy. Offered a choice between continued hospital care or Covenant Health's Advanced Care at Home program, she chose home care. Stohler found comfort in being at home with her dog, benefiting from the same one-on-one nursing care she would have received in the hospital. The program, part of a growing hospital-at-home trend, provided her with necessary medical equipment and remote monitoring. Studies show that such programs reduce readmissions and costs while improving patient experience. Stohler's positive outcome underscores the potential of hospital-at-home, especially in rural areas where healthcare access is limited.
