No Place Like Home: Thrive Health’s Hospital at Home Care Journey

In today's healthcare landscape, hospitals across Canada are grappling with unprecedented challenges, from soaring costs to mounting demands exacerbated by the ongoing pandemic. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, hospital care accounts for a staggering $77 billion annually, placing immense strain on the healthcare system. More than ever, innovative solutions are needed to alleviate these pressures and ensure patients receive timely, high-quality care.

Thrive Health's Hospital at Home Care Journey is designed to transform how healthcare is delivered. By empowering patients to receive care in the comfort of their own homes, Thrive’s innovative platform not only promotes efficiency and system relief but also prioritizes patient empowerment and engagement.

At its core, the Hospital at Home Care Journey seeks to promote coordination and continuity of care by facilitating seamless transitions between hospital and home-based care settings. Through the integration of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Apps, patients can track symptoms by completing clinical assessments from home, notifying providers of signs of worsening clinical status, and promoting early intervention. Patients can better manage health conditions and access evidence-based resources to support their recovery journey in a comfortable setting. 

For providers, the Hospital at Home Care Journey means enhanced interoperability, empowering providers to access a more holistic record of their patient’s health by integrating data from multiple sources. Bi-directional data exchange with their patients and data systems means the care team can access relevant data and insights, leading to data-driven, evidence-based clinical decisions and, ultimately, better outcomes. 

Key features of the Hospital at Home Care Journey include:
