Workshop 5 (May 4 11am-2pm)
Sahlgrenska hemma — Person‑centred Hospital@Home: from pilot to sustainable operations
Desciption
What happens when hospital‑level care moves into the home? In this hands‑on workshop, Sahlgrenska hemma shares lessons from designing and scaling person‑centred Hospital@Home services in a large region. We put the patient narrative and shared decision‑making at the core, showing how mobile teams, remote monitoring, and tight collaboration with primary care and municipalities can create safety, quality, and efficiency.
Participants follow a full patient journey—from inclusion and risk stratification through treatment, follow‑up, and transitions—focusing on safety, medicines, self‑care, and family support. We work with practical tools: logic models, process maps, team and handover checklists, and a measurement set (PROMs/PREMs, clinical outcomes, and resource use). We show what it takes to start, scale, and embed home hospital services: competencies and staffing, referral pathways, digital decision support, documentation, and information‑sharing across settings. Special attention is given to equity, ethical considerations, and genuine partnership with patients and families.
We also discuss commissioning, reimbursement, and legal enablers for sustainable operations and fair access, and how everyday data can power continuous learning and improvement. You will leave with a first implementation sketch and a toolbox ready to adapt to your context.
Format: Short inputs, real cases, small‑group exercises, and joint reflection. The workshop connects directly to the GCPCC theme by bridging practice, organisation, and governance for person‑centred care at home.
Target group
Service/department managers, ward/unit managers, clinical leads, nurses, physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, pharmacists; leaders in primary care and municipal home care; quality improvement and patient safety professionals; digital and data analytics teams; commissioners/payers; regional and municipal decision‑makers.
