Hospital At Home Technology Summit

Agenda

12:00 pm | Welcome & Opening Keynote with David Levine: The Evolving Landscape of Hospital Home Strategy and Technology

In his inspiring opening keynote, international hospital-at-home pioneer, innovator and mentor Dr. David Levine will offer an update on the current landscape for high acuity care in the home. He will describe how H@H is evolving to include other forms of patient care like Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF’s) at Home, and he will reflect on his seminal research on the ROI of H@H in an environment where the reimbursement environment is volatile.   

12:40 pm | Scaling Hospital at Home to a Dispersed Veterans Population
John Boerstler,  Head of Public Sector, Ipsos & Former Chief Experience Officer at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) serves over 9 million enrolled veterans through its Veterans Health Administration (VHA) system. So consider the scale of administering care to one of the largest patient populations in the world, most of which are distributed around the country and the world. Now consider that many of these veterans live long distances from a healthcare provider providing high acuity care and you’ll see why hospital at home is a very attractive option for the veterans constituency. Join this thought provoking session about scaling Hospital at Home with John Boerstler, former Chief Experience Officer (CXO)  and Assistant Secretary, and Head of Veterans Experience Office (VEO).

1:15 pm | The Cybersecurity Standards Challenges of Hospital Quality Care at Home
Maria Paolombini, Global Practice Leader, Healthcare & Life Sciences, IEEE Standards Association

While there are considerable standards for cybersecurity in general, the unique distributed nature of high-acuity care in a myriad of home settings creates a very unique challenge even when compared to the existing remote monitoring segment. In this session, Maria Palombini, Global Practice Leader, Healthcare & Life Sciences for IEEE  Standards Association, will discuss the broader risk assessments for hospital-level care at home and the standards that have been developed using a real world H@H provider case study    

1:50 pm | Do You Have the Right Digital Strategy to Scale Home Hospital?
John Campbell, Principal, Campbell Digital Healthcare Associates LLC

Scaling Home Hospital operations takes more than just an RPM platform—it requires a full-spectrum digital strategy aligned with your clinical and business goals. Success depends on EHR integration, analytics, mobile communications, logistics support, and more. When digital strategy and operational goals are misaligned, growth is slowed or even stalled. This session will outline the essential digital building blocks, resources, and budget considerations needed to effectively support and scale Home Hospital programs—and challenge you to ask: is your digital strategy helping you grow, or holding you back?

2:25 pm | Hospital at Home Technology Investment Through the Venture Capital Lens
Dusty Lieb, Managing Partner & Head of Investments, Echo Health Ventures

Given the multifaceted complexities of deploying a healthcare system wide Hospital at Home strategy, it is interesting to look at these technology platforms through a venture capital lens. Echo Health Ventures has a unique perspective given its involvement in what is perhaps the most significant investment related to the merger of DispatchHealth and Medically Home, creating what many consider  the country’s most comprehensive provider of high acuity medical care at home. Add to this Echo Health Ventures’ deep involvement with BCBS on the payer side, and you can look forward to a 360-degree view of Hospital at Home from a tech, reimbursement and investor ROI perspective.

2:55 pm | An Alternative to Hospital at Home: Increasing Hospital Capacity by Partnering with a Home Health Agency
Jared S. Huber, MD, Medical Director of Home-Based Care, University of Utah Health

In response to the pandemic’s strain on hospital capacity, a western US academic medical center partnered with a community-based home health agency to create protocols enabling earlier discharge for certain elective surgery patients. This approach, reimbursed through standard home health benefits, allowed post-surgical care at home rather than in the hospital, effectively increasing hospital capacity. Recognizing the complexity of expanding these services to hospital medicine patients, the center launched a transitions of care team in October 2023, composed of an RN, MD, and home health staff. The team managed post-discharge care through physician oversight, telehealth, regular patient communication, and coordination with home health providers. Ongoing support is funded using Transitions of Care Management codes.

3:30 pm | How Mayo Clinic Platform Built Cancer Care Beyond Walls at International Scale
Rosanna Fiorarancio Fahy, Associate Vice President Cancer Beyond Walls, Mayo Clinic

Hospital-at-Home is rapidly evolving, branching into specialized models that address unique patient populations. In this compelling case study, Rosanna Fiorarancio Fahy, Associate Vice President for Cancer Care Beyond Walls at Mayo Clinic, shares how her team adapted the Hospital at Home model specifically for oncology patients—delivering complex, high-quality cancer care in the home. She will explore the strategies, technology infrastructure, and operational frameworks driving this innovation, as well as Mayo Clinic’s efforts to scale the program globally through the advanced capabilities of the Mayo Clinic Platform. Attendees will gain insights into designing verticalized Hospital at Home models, leveraging technology for complex care, and translating success across diverse geographies.
