TORONTO, Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In this webinar, the expert speakers will discuss the challenges of inpatient capacity strain, resource constraints and increased hospital length of stay (LOS), and how these challenges are re-shaping organizations care-at-home strategies. The unique perspectives and experiences of the panelists ranging from acute to transitional to post-acute care-at-home programs will enrich the conversation.
Although hospital capacity has increased by 19 percent over the last three years, the labor cost per adjusted hospital discharge has risen by 25 percent. Readmission rates have been on the rise since 2015, and hospitals are facing backlogs and discharge delays, leaving patients waiting hours in the emergency department.
One hospital found that patients spent 65,000 more days in inpatient hospitals than needed. Additionally, hospital visits have surpassed pre-pandemic levels, and clinicians, especially nurses, are experiencing burnout, leading them to leave their professions. In response, innovative strategies are emerging that aim to deliver care to patients at home using advanced technology and by reimagining the care delivery model to ease the burden on traditional healthcare facilities and improve quality of care.
This webinar will educate the attendees and raise awareness about how innovative tech-enabled, care-at-home solutions can help strategically address the challenges of inpatient capacity strain, staffing, and increased hospital length of stay (LOS).
Register for this webinar today to gain insights about acute to transitional to post-acute care-at-home programs and novel strategies to navigate the current healthcare landscape.
