A CMO's guide to offering home health services
HealthLeaders; by Christopher Cheney; 10/6/25
Offering home health services to patients after hospitalizations generates several benefits, including improved patient satisfaction, reduced readmissions, and lower cost of care. Key Takeaways:
- Health systems and hospitals can offer home health services to patients through internal programs or partner organizations.
- After patients are discharged from a hospital, home health services generate significant value for patients who are at high risk for readmission.
- Home health services are less costly than providing care for patients in skilled nursing facilities, which reduces total cost of care.
