We anticipated a swift and significant increase in patients and knew we needed to create a seamless process to ensure quality care. We involved provider groups and built a dedicated clinical telehealth team to keep open points of contact and streamline communication.
We came to the conclusion that patients don’t need to be in the hospital with technology like HRS. It allows us to care for them where they want to be, at home with their loved ones.
Hospital at Home programs are undoubtedly the care delivery model of the future…they leverage the highest quality technological capabilities available, [and offer] lower-cost, safe, high-quality hospital-level care in the home.
Hospital at Home programs combine in-home and virtual visits with remote monitoring, offering patients timely, hospital-level care in their homes. In countries with single payer systems, this care model has long been considered effective at improving patient outcomes and reducing the total cost of care.

Conditions that may benefit from this care model include acute pneumonia, cellulitis, COVID-19, urinary tract infection, dehydration, or exacerbations of chronic conditions, like heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In short, this care model offers patients who typically require hospitalization the option to receive acute-level care in their home.
Yes! HRS recently announced the launch of its early adoption client program for continuous monitoring capabilities. This program—piloted by criteria-based clients—incorporates continuous body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, pulse oximetry and ECG metrics to further support healthcare organizations with high acuity patients.
More than a decade ago, a pilot program launched at Johns Hopkins achieved savings of more than 30% per admission, while delivering equivalent outcomes and fewer complications than traditional hospital care. Since then, multiple studies have determined that, for some patients, the Hospital at Home model can be safer, cheaper, and more effective than care delivered in a hospital setting.
Across the country, health systems are incorporating HRS remote patient monitoring and telehealth into their Hospital at Home programs. For Hospital at Home programs, the HRS solution enables not only real-time biometric monitoring, but also provider-patient communication through virtual visits, symptom surveys, medication reminders, and more.
