About the Users Group

A Dynamic Collaborative

Hospitalization can be hazardous for some patients, and particularly older patients with multiple chronic conditions. Hospital at Home makes acute hospital-level care available to older adults in their homes and apartments, rather than in a traditional hospital setting. Hospital at Home programs, configured in a variety of ways, have been shown to improve care, increase patient and caregiver satisfaction, and reduce costs.

In the United States, interest in Hospital at Home expanded significantly with the Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCaH) waiver, which went into effect in 2020. Hundreds of hospitals and health systems have received a waiver, with programs cropping up in states around the country. Following a series of short- and mid-term extensions, in February 2026 the AHCaH waiver was extended through 2030, providing runway for new and existing Hospital at Home programs to flourish.

Seeking to further the field, the Hospital at Home Users Group™ is a dynamic collaborative of Hospital at Home programs around the United States. We share resources and best practices, work together to expand the reach of our programs, and develop the program and policy standards to inform regulatory and reimbursement policies necessary to spread this hopeful model broadly.
