- We are extremely excited to introduce the Home Hospital program, which will revolutionize the healthcare journey for many patients at Salem Hospital,” said president and chief operating officer Roxanne Ruppel. “Delivering top-notch care to patients in the comfort of their homes demonstrates our commitment to innovative, patient-centered care, that also reduces costs.” Home Hospital provides acute care for patients at home who traditionally would need inpatient hospitalization. Home Hospital care gained momentum in 2020 when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services launched the Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver that provided federal regulatory and financial authorization for these programs to combat the COVID pandemic. According to research led by Dr. David Levine, clinical director of research and development at Mass General Brigham Healthcare at Home, providing care at home results in improved quality outcomes, enhanced patient and employee experiences, and increased capacity and access to inpatient care. As the current capacity crisis continues to put strain on healthcare providers and facility-based hospitals, Home Hospital offers a care delivery model that increases facility hospital bed availability to treat the sickest patients requiring more complex care.
