The Hospital at Home Users Group 2026 Annual Meeting returns virtually, once again convening HaH champions and clinical teams from across the country for the nation’s premier HaH event. The gathering will once again serve as the official preconference to the American Academy of Home Care Medicine (AAHCM) Annual Meeting, taking place November 4–6 in Indiana.
Join us on November 4 for Opportunity Knocks: Welcoming the Future of Hospital at Home, a dynamic day featuring new and engaging special sessions, peer consultations, and expert discussions on the latest innovations in acute care at home. This meeting will include:
- A keynote address from Joseph Smith, MD, PhD, a cardiologist and health innovation leader with deep expertise at the intersection of technology, policy, and home-based care
- An up-to-the-minute policy update
- Two dedicated tracks – one designed for programs just getting started with HaH and one for more experienced programs looking to scale their effort
- Research presentations and awards celebrating excellence in the HaH community
- Networking opportunities, and more
CME and ANCC credits will be available.
Additional details about our Annual Meeting speakers and sessions will be announced in the coming weeks – join our mailing list so you don’t miss any updates.
We are proud partners of the American Academy of Home Care Medicine (AAHCM)! If you want to continue your digital HaH conference experience in-person, consider attending the AAHCM Annual Meeting in Indianapolis on November 5th and 6th.
Contribute to the Users Group Annual Meeting!
The Hospital at Home Users Group Virtual Annual Meeting 2026 is looking to spotlight HaH leaders from across the country—and that includes you! From poster abstracts to award nominations and photos or videos, there are plenty of ways to share your innovative Hospital at Home work with the community. Get involved and submit yours today!
For questions, contact Gabi Schiller at gabrielle.schiller@mssm.edu.
poster abstracts
To contribute to the Users Group Annual Meeting’s program, we invite you to submit a poster abstract in one (or more) of three categories:
- Patient Case Studies
- Practice Innovations
- Research Abstract
Patient Case Studies should present compelling patient case studies that highlight unusual, instructive, or noteworthy clinical findings encountered in the Hospital at Home setting. These submissions should offer clear takeaways that other HaH practitioners can apply to their own clinical practice.
Practice Innovations should showcase operational improvements or program innovations that have enhanced the delivery of Hospital at Home care. These submissions should present replicable ideas with at least preliminary outcomes that other HaH practices can adapt and implement in their own settings.
Research abstracts should present the results of purposeful and systematic investigations aimed at advancing the field of Hospital at Home care. These submissions must include replicable methods, clear analytic approaches, and actual data. Abstracts without results will not be considered.
Those that submit the best abstracts in each category will be required to present their poster at our Annual Meeting and make a poster available to view on our website after the meeting.
Those who wish to submit an abstract are not required to attend the Annual Meeting. Please note, if you have already submitted a poster to the AAHCM Annual Meeting, you can resubmit it here.
The deadline for submissions is July 13th, 5pm EST.
