OAKLAND, Calif., March 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Leaders from Kaiser Permanente, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Mayo Clinic and The SCAN Foundation will discuss the future of acute care at home during a free, hour-long Permanente Live webinar on Tuesday, March 15, 2022, at 10 a.m. PDT/1 p.m. EDT.

The virtual panel, "The revolution and evolution of acute care at home," is part of The Permanente Federation's Permanente Live programming, which includes webinars, podcasts and live social media chats. Hosted by Stephen Parodi, MD, executive vice president of The Permanente Federation, the series addresses some of health care's most challenging issues.

Physician experts will share how the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the possibility — and the necessity — of delivering acute-level care at home, also known as advanced care at home. Facing challenges that include limited hospital capacity and an aging population, the health care industry must look for innovative, sustainable ways to deliver safe, high-quality and equitable care, now and in the future. While the growth of hospital-at-home programs offers opportunities, questions remain about the role of care teams, equity and accessibility, and taking such programs to scale in the future.

What: Attendees will learn about the evolution of advanced-care-at-home programs and their potential to change the future of health care, including:

How hospital-at-home programs work and their potential to scale; and how they foster person-centered care and the preferences of patients.
The evolution of care team roles and creation of future career paths.
Challenges related to access, social health and equitable care.
Policy issues that facilitate or hinder advanced care at home.

When: Tuesday, March 15, 10 to 11 a.m. PDT/1 to 2 p.m. EDT

Where: REGISTER to attend this virtual event.

Who: Panel speakers include:

Mary Giswold, MD, chief operating officer, Northwest Permanente
David Levine, MD, medical director for strategy and innovation, Brigham and Women's Hospital
Michael Maniaci, MD, enterprise physician lead and medical director, Advanced Care at Home, Mayo Clinic
