Building a World-Class Hospital-At-Home Team Through Experience | WHAHC Congress Catch-Up

Season 1 · Episode 12

Friday, January 16, 2026 • Duration 17:59

In this episode of WHAHC Congress Catch-Up, we focus on one of the most critical enablers of Hospital at Home (HaH) success: education, training, and workforce readiness. Drawing from the WHAHC 2025 symposium “Building a World-Class Hospital-at-Home Team Through Experience, Interactive Education & Training,” chaired by Karen Titchener (Maribel Health, USA), this session explored how leading programs in the U.S. and U.K. are preparing clinicians to deliver acute, hospital-level care safely and confidently in patients’ homes.

You’ll also hear about:
• Why HaH requires a fundamental mindset shift—from team-based hospital care to autonomous decision-making in unpredictable home environments
• How long-standing U.K. programs embed HaH training into medical and nursing career pathways through structured rotations and cross-setting experience
• The role of simulation-based education—including “real home” scenarios that test safety awareness, communication, and critical thinking
• Maribel Health’s four-stage blended learning model, combining didactics, skills training, high-fidelity simulation, and ongoing mentorship
• Compelling evidence that targeted coaching and communication training can rapidly increase HaH admissions and program sustainability
• The future of HaH education, including adaptive learning platforms, VR/AR simulation, and AI-enabled clinical support

This episode is essential listening for educators, clinical leaders, and program builders designing scalable, high-quality HaH services—where autonomy, trust, and human-centered care are as important as clinical expertise.

This podcast was created using AI to provide a quick and insightful summary of a WHAHC 2025 session. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, listeners are encouraged to refer to original Congress materials and recordings for detailed information.

The World Hospital at Home Congress, WHAHC 2025, took place on 27–29 March 2025, in Vienna, Austria.

Technology & HaH: What Works, What Doesn’t, and What’s Next | WHAHC Congress Catch-Up

Season 1 · Episode 11

Friday, November 14, 2025 • Duration 13:49

In this episode of WHAHC Congress Catch-Up, we explore the evolving technological backbone of Hospital at Home (HaH), drawing on insights from the WHAHC 2025 session “Technology and HaH – Part 1,” chaired by Dr. Jared Conley (Harvard Medical School, USA). From virtual visits and remote monitoring to patient identification and EHR integration, this session offered a global snapshot of what’s working—and where the biggest friction points remain.

You’ll also hear about:• The five core tech domains essential for scaling HaH, and why connectivity remains the make-or-break factor (USA)

• Singapore’s high usability scores—and the hidden challenges in effectiveness, communication, and reliability

• Portugal’s AI-driven HD Signal platform, cutting clinician screening time by an impressive 78%

• Amsterdam UMC’s decision to build HaH directly into Epic, and the realities of reimbursement and interoperability barriers

• The global call for clinician-centered design, fewer false alarms, seamless data flow, and tech that supports—not disrupts—clinical judgment

From broadband limitations to AI breakthroughs, this episode highlights the shared global journey to make HaH technology reliable, integrated, and invisible enough to let clinicians focus on what matters most: safe, connected, patient-centered care at home.

Scaling Hospital at Home | WHAHC Congress Catch-Up

Season 1 · Episode 10

Thursday, October 16, 2025 • Duration 17:08

In this episode of WHAHC Congress Catch-Up, we move beyond clinical success to tackle the next great challenge for Hospital at Home (HaH): scaling up and sustaining programs as part of mainstream healthcare systems. Drawing from the WHAHC 2025 session “Scaling HaH”, chaired by Itamar Offer (Founder and Co-Chair of WHAHC), this episode brings together powerful lessons from Singapore, France, Israel, and the United States on what it really takes to turn small pilots into permanent system-wide models of care.

You’ll also hear about:
• The “success trap” — why programs that mature too smoothly may be most at risk of decline (WHAHC Co-Chair Itamar Offer)

• Israel’s rapid rise and plateau, where strong clinical results couldn’t overcome temporary funding and policy fragility

• France’s 70-year HaH journey and how a national performance agency helped smaller public providers break free of systemic inertia

• Singapore’s data-driven approach to scaling, using implementation science frameworks and AI tools to guide real-world expansion

• U.S. Medicaid data showing HaH’s safety, equity, and cost-effectiveness — and why permanent federal legislation remains critical

• The unifying insight: scaling HaH is now less a clinical challenge than a strategic, political, and financial one

This episode is essential listening for health system leaders, policymakers, and innovators navigating the realities of growing HaH programs — from sustainability planning and funding transitions to cultural and operational alignment.

To HaH or Not to HaH: The Pediatric Perspective | WHAHC Congress Catch-Up

Season 1 · Episode 9

Thursday, October 2, 2025 • Duration 24:52

In this episode of WHAHC Congress Catch-Up, we dive into the pediatric perspective on Hospital at Home (HaH), exploring the unique opportunities and challenges of delivering complex, hospital-level care to children in their own homes. The session “To HaH or Not to HaH: The Pediatric Perspective” was chaired by Dr. Claire Mehler Jacob (APHP, France) and featured case studies and clinical insights from France’s leading pediatric HaH teams.

Through the story of Max, a baby with congenital nephrotic syndrome who required continuous albumin infusion, the session highlighted both the promise and the complexity of pediatric HaH—where medical safety, family capacity, and child development all intersect.

You’ll also hear about:
• When parenteral treatments are (and aren’t) suitable for pediatric HaH (APHP, France)

• The pros and cons of different venous access options in children—including ports, PICCs, and peripheral lines—and how to manage complications at home (Fondation Santé Service, France)

• The role of HaH in post-transplant care, and how to balance medical stability with family readiness (APHP, France)

• Why pediatric HaH is not simply “hospital care at home,” but an evolving, family-centered model that adapts as children grow and their needs change

This thought-provoking episode underscores that pediatric HaH isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, it requires constant adaptation, close teamwork, and a holistic focus on both patient and caregiver well-being.

• How Massachusetts Medicaid embraced HaH early, navigating waiver uncertainty while prioritizing payment parity, simplicity, and data on disadvantaged populations (MassHealth, USA)

• Australia’s 35+ years of HaH experience, and the challenges of multi-payer complexity, inconsistent funding across states, and the vital role of advocacy to ensure quality and sustainability (Hospital in Your Home, Australia)

• Why funding parity is a recurring theme—and how aligning payment with traditional inpatient care helps establish HaH as a credible, scalable alternative

• The long-term financial case for HaH, from reducing readmissions to avoiding costly hospital bed expansion

This episode is especially relevant for policymakers, payors, health system leaders, and program developers seeking to understand how different financing strategies can make or break the sustainability of Hospital at Home.
