Hospital-at-Home: The Future of Healthcare
Many of the leading industry experts are saying that the future of healthcare is at home, where patients can receive state-of-the-art care without having to travel to a hospital or other care facility. Home-based care is not only beneficial and appealing to consumers, it also has been shown to reduce costs and improve outcomes for health systems.
This month we are offering healthcare leaders a free resource that provides strategies to strengthen your hospital-at-home initiatives. The seminar “Leadership Insights: Hospital-at-Home: Creating Value for Patients and Providers,” will be available at no cost through Dec. 21. Worth 1 ACHE Qualified Education credit, this recorded session will help you learn to describe the value of hospital-at-home care and explore innovative models that health systems are creating in the hospital-at-home space.
To take advantage of this session recording, simply enter the discount code NOVPERK2022 when you register online. And, be sure to check out ACHE’s other on-demand digital learning offerings. Don’t forget: You can earn 1 ACHE Qualified Education credit toward FACHE® certification and recertification for each webinar recording you complete. Learn more about the certification and recertification processes by visiting ache.org/FACHE.
We hope you enjoy this Monthly Membership Perk, and we thank you for being a part of the ACHE community.
