Overview

In an era where healthcare systems are under increasing pressure-from aging populations and chronic illnesses to limited hospital capacity and rising costs-the world is witnessing a profound transformation in how and where care is delivered. Hospital at Home and Home First Care Models: Revolutionizing Healthcare Delivery in the 21st Century offers a compelling exploration of this global shift from hospital-centric to patient-centered care, where healing begins not in the confines of a ward, but in the comfort and dignity of one's own home. This insightful and human-centered book takes readers through the evolution, philosophy, and practical implementation of modern home-based healthcare. It examines how pioneering models like ""Hospital at Home"" (HaH) and ""Home First"" are redefining the boundaries of medicine-empowering patients to receive acute, hospital-level treatment in familiar surroundings. Drawing on case studies from leading health systems in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, it showcases real-world examples of how technology, teamwork, and compassion are converging to create safer, more sustainable healthcare experiences. Across its comprehensive chapters, readers will discover: The origins and framework of Hospital at Home programs and Home First initiatives. The essential components of successful implementation-from interdisciplinary teamwork to patient selection and home safety. How telehealth, remote monitoring, and artificial intelligence are shaping the future of care delivery. The economic, ethical, and legal dimensions of bringing hospital-level services into residential settings. The emotional and spiritual impact of home-based recovery, where family involvement and faith play a vital role in holistic healing. Lessons learned from global leaders and policy pathways for creating compassionate, equitable, and technology-driven care systems. Blending academic insight with human stories, this book offers a balanced and deeply empathetic view of a healthcare revolution that is both technological and moral. It challenges professionals, policymakers, and caregivers to reimagine health not as a service confined to buildings-but as a relationship grounded in trust, dignity, and proximity. Whether you are a clinician, healthcare administrator, policymaker, student, or simply someone passionate about the future of compassionate medicine, Hospital at Home and Home First Care Models provides the knowledge and inspiration to envision a healthier, more connected world-where ""home truly becomes the new hospital.""
