Healthcare systems in Western countries are facing considerable challenges: an aging population, a rise in chronic conditions, a shortage of resources, and a widespread staffing deficit - all pushing systems to their limits. To address these issues, new approaches are needed. In the U.S., one such approach is gaining traction: Hospital-at-Home. 

The Hospital Bed Moves Home

Hospital-at-Home (HaH) refers to the delivery of hospital-level treatments in patients’ own homes. Besides freeing up hospital beds and significantly reducing costs, research indicates that at-home treatment can improve overall patient outcomes and satisfaction. 

Denmark is already well-positioned in the field of digital health, with proven expertise in areas such as video consultations with general practitioners and automated prescription renewals. Hence, Denmark is in a favorable position to further develop and implement Hospital-at-Home solutions, benefiting both patients and society. Globally, the HaH market is expected to experience rapid growth. 

The outlook report offers an in-depth look at the HaH concept as it is being developed in the U.S., and explores how Denmark’s strong capabilities in health innovation can contribute to the advancement of HaH initiatives both nationally and internationally.
