The world of healthcare is ever-evolving, especially when new technology is being adopted. One such new area is healthcare at home. Although we were forced into fully remote operations with COVID-19, we have been making modifications along the way and have discovered how beneficial it can be to our organizations and our patients.

医疗保健的世界在不断发展，特别是当新技术被采用时。其中一个新领域是家庭保健。尽管我们被迫使用新型冠状病毒肺炎进行完全远程手术，但我们一直在进行修改，并发现它对我们的组织和患者有多大的益处。

To make further strides though, we have to understand where we’ve come from, where we are now, and how it is making an impact. So let’s take a deeper look into healthcare at home to see how it has evolved over time, the technology that is driving this change, and how it is impacting our patients and providers..

然而，要取得进一步进展，我们必须了解我们来自何方，我们现在在何处，以及它是如何产生影响的。因此，让我们更深入地了解一下家庭医疗保健，看看它是如何随着时间的推移而发展的，推动这一变化的技术，以及它如何影响我们的患者和提供者。。

We reached out to our brilliant Healthcare IT Today community to get their insights into this topic. The following is what they had to say.

我们联系了我们杰出的Healthcare IT Today社区，以了解他们对这一主题的见解。下面是他们不得不说的话。

Telehealth, digital communication, and remote patient monitoring rose to the forefront during the pandemic and are now well-established care delivery options. Devices for medication adherence, blood pressure, blood sugar, and others help patients track metrics from their homes and enable providers access to the information in real-time to manage care remotely.

远程保健、数字通信和远程病人监测在大流行期间上升到最前沿，现在已经成为公认的护理服务选择。用于药物依从性、血压、血糖等的设备可以帮助患者从家中跟踪指标，并使提供者能够实时访问信息以远程管理护理。

Playing a crucial role in hospital-at-home programs, these technologies complement in-home visits and provide patients with a complete range of hospital services, including mental health, nephrology, and case management..

这些技术在家庭医院项目中发挥着至关重要的作用，在家访中起到了补充作用，并为患者提供了一系列完整的医院服务，包括心理健康、肾脏病和病例管理。。

Brenden Hayden, Chief Operating Officer at Estella Health

Estella Health首席运营官Brenden Hayden

Healthcare has traditionally been a slow industry when it comes to embracing change. That said, the last four years have demonstrated to us that patients will ultimately drive the need for advancements that ultimately move us towards adopting more efficient care delivery models and at scale. During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients learned quickly that care at home, delivered via telemedicine (phone, video, email) could efficiently and effectively address many of their clinical needs.

在接受变革方面，医疗保健行业传统上是一个缓慢的行业。也就是说，过去四年向我们证明，患者最终将推动对进步的需求，最终推动我们采用更有效的护理模式和规模。在新型冠状病毒肺炎大流行期间，患者很快就了解到，通过远程医疗（电话、视频、电子邮件）提供的家庭护理可以有效地满足他们的许多临床需求。

That shift in mindset and behavior has kicked off an entire cultural shift in the traditional health delivery model, opening the door to the expansion of ED-at-Home/Hospital-at-Home programs and the utilization of Mobile Integrated Health to better serve historically underserved populations..

这种心态和行为的转变开启了传统医疗服务模式的整个文化转变，为扩大家庭急诊/家庭医院计划以及利用移动综合健康更好地服务历史上服务不足的人群打开了大门。。

Laura Ferrara, Chief Strategy Officer at Intus Care

Intus Care首席战略官Laura Ferrara

The focus on healthcare delivered in the comfort of one’s home has surged in recent times, particularly in light of the pandemic. Programs of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), a Medicare and Medicaid program designed for individuals aged 55 and above requiring nursing-home-level care, embraced the benefits of providing care at home prior to the pandemic, enabling this frail population to remain within their familiar home environments and communities.

近年来，人们对在家中舒适地提供医疗保健的关注激增，特别是考虑到大流行的情况。老年人全方位护理计划（PACE）是一项医疗保险和医疗补助计划，专为55岁及以上需要养老院级别护理的个人设计，它包含了在大流行之前在家提供护理的好处，使这些脆弱的人群能够留在他们熟悉的家庭环境和社区。

PACE programs across the country offer a holistic and forward-thinking approach to care, addressing both medical and social needs, with technology initiatives at the forefront to inform the right care at the right time..

全国各地的PACE项目为护理提供了一种整体和前瞻性的方法，既满足了医疗需求，又满足了社会需求，最前沿的技术举措是在正确的时间为正确的护理提供信息。。

Utilizing technology enables programs like PACE to discern patterns within their patient population and conduct personalized risk assessments to enhance care provision. By leveraging data analytics, these programs can pinpoint overarching trends among their participants, facilitating the implementation of targeted educational and care interventions.

利用技术，PACE等项目可以识别患者群体中的模式，并进行个性化风险评估，以增强护理服务。通过利用数据分析，这些计划可以查明参与者的总体趋势，促进有针对性的教育和护理干预措施的实施。

Moreover, sophisticated risk assessment models aid in the identification of individuals susceptible to heightened healthcare utilization, allowing for proactive measures to mitigate potential risks, such as intervening to prevent falls—a critical concern for elderly patients that, if unaddressed, could have significant consequences..

此外，复杂的风险评估模型有助于识别易受医疗保健利用率提高影响的个体，从而采取积极措施来减轻潜在风险，例如干预以防止跌倒，这是老年患者的一个关键问题，如果不加以解决，可能会产生重大后果。。

Jessica Wagner, Chief Operating Officer at RXNT

杰西卡·瓦格纳，RXNT首席运营官

For decades, home care has only been growing—and that trajectory spiked overnight because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Telehealth advancements, both in technology and government policy, have created greater access to care for people who might otherwise struggle to get it. You can look at something like the lack of primary care providers to meet demand and see that there’s an immense need for solutions that create flexibility and efficiency in healthcare.

几十年来，家庭护理一直在增长，而由于新型冠状病毒（Covid-19）的流行，这一轨迹在一夜之间飙升。远程医疗在技术和政府政策方面的进步为那些可能难以获得医疗服务的人提供了更多的医疗服务。你可以看看缺乏初级保健提供者来满足需求的情况，并看到人们迫切需要能够在医疗保健方面创造灵活性和效率的解决方案。

Whether it’s boutique online telehealth services or subscription-based mental health apps, we’re seeing organizations rise to fill gaps traditional care is leaving and give patients what they seem to crave the most—convenience..

无论是精品在线远程保健服务还是基于订阅的心理健康应用程序，我们都看到各组织正在崛起，以填补传统护理所留下的空白，并为患者提供他们似乎最渴望的便利。。

When thinking about home care, it’s also worth mentioning how technology really empowers at-home care providers. Telehealth appointments and remote patient monitoring are tools that make quality home care far more accessible for patients who have mobility difficulties, or who have chosen to age at home.

当考虑家庭护理时，还值得一提的是技术如何真正赋予家庭护理提供者权力。远程医疗预约和远程患者监测是使行动不便或选择在家养老的患者更容易获得优质家庭护理的工具。

With all of these services, though, the glaring issue is that home care is not always the best option for those dealing with advanced illnesses requiring specialty or round-the-clock care..

尽管有了所有这些服务，但突出的问题是，对于那些需要专业或全天候护理的晚期疾病患者来说，家庭护理并不总是最佳选择。。

There are many options available to those dealing with advanced illness—ranging from home care to assisted living facilities and nursing homes—and the right choice is deeply personal. When making a tough care choice for oneself or a loved one, the considerations can be financial or related to the quality of care, or to the relationship between the patient and their loved ones.

治疗晚期疾病的人有许多选择，从家庭护理到辅助生活设施和疗养院，正确的选择是非常个人化的。当为自己或亲人做出艰难的护理选择时，考虑因素可能是财务上的，也可能与护理质量或患者与亲人之间的关系有关。

While advancements in technology continue to make more options available, its use and adoption will and should continue to vary from patient to patient and family to family. The decision a healthy individual makes to age at home will be different from the decision a loved one makes for a patient dealing with an advancing Alzheimer’s diagnosis, for example..

虽然技术的进步继续提供更多的选择，但它的使用和采用将并且应该继续因患者和家庭而异。例如，健康个体在家中衰老的决定将不同于亲人对患有阿尔茨海默氏症的患者做出的决定。。

That is the beauty of technology—it can meet people where they are and can be personalized to empower decision-making and improve the care experience across the full spectrum of healthcare.

这就是技术之美，它可以满足人们的需求，并且可以个性化，以增强决策能力并改善整个医疗保健领域的护理体验。

Joe Perekupka, CEO at Freespira

Freespira首席执行官乔·佩雷库普卡（JoePerekupka）

Healthcare at home is a seismic shift for the traditional treatment paradigm in the U.S. It represents the best opportunity for improved access to care and the ability for a more proactive approach to healthcare for most individuals in the U.S. Two technologies have had the greatest impact on this evolution: 1) Virtual/telehealth and 2) Prescription Digital Therapeutics (PDTs).

家庭医疗保健是美国传统治疗模式的一次重大转变。它为美国大多数人提供了改善医疗服务的最佳机会，以及采取更积极主动的医疗保健方法的能力。两种技术对这一演变产生了最大的影响：1）虚拟/远程医疗和2）处方数字治疗（PDT）。

Both of these technologies have provided the individual with new ways to access healthcare from the privacy of their own home. However, PDTs are taking home health to a new level because patients can access a validated treatment in their own home that once was only available via a clinic or physician/clinician office.

这两项技术都为个人提供了从自己家中的隐私中获得医疗保健的新方法。然而，PDT正在将家庭健康提高到一个新的水平，因为患者可以在自己的家中获得经过验证的治疗，而这种治疗曾经只能通过诊所或医生/临床医生办公室获得。

Everything from mental health treatments, diabetes care, cardiac/stroke rehab, and pain management are all now available at home through the use of a digital therapeutic..

从心理健康治疗、糖尿病护理、心脏/中风康复和疼痛管理等一切都可以通过数字治疗仪在家中使用。。

Carrie Nelson, Chief Medical Officer at KeyCare

凯莉·尼尔森（CarrieNelson），凯凯医疗（KeyCare）首席医疗官

The time is long overdue for healthcare providers to use tools that support patients to manage their health throughout the course of their daily lives. Let’s face it, the provider is not the one managing their diabetes or hypertension, the patient is. Through the use of Epic tools like Care Companion integrated with the Epic electronic health record, daily support can be provided that can help a patient follow a treatment plan, transmit data to their provider, or alert the care team that further assistance is needed.

早就该让医疗保健提供者使用支持患者在日常生活中管理健康的工具了。让我们面对现实，提供者不是管理糖尿病或高血压的人，而是患者。通过使用与Epic电子健康记录集成的Care Companion等Epic工具，可以提供日常支持，帮助患者遵循治疗计划，将数据传输给其提供者，或提醒护理团队需要进一步的帮助。

In this way, patients can more efficiently reach their health goals or obtain the support needed to avoid an ED visit or hospitalization. Similarly, the use of E-visits in which asynchronous communication occurs between a patient and a provider is a convenient way to receive care for common, straightforward conditions such as pink eye or a urinary tract infection..

通过这种方式，患者可以更有效地达到他们的健康目标，或者获得避免急诊就诊或住院所需的支持。类似地，在患者和提供者之间进行异步通信的电子访问的使用是一种方便的方式，可以接受常见，直接的疾病的护理，例如红眼或尿路感染。。

Dr. Ahzam Afzal, Co-Founder and CEO at Puzzle Healthcare

Puzzle Healthcare联合创始人兼首席执行官Ahzam Afzal博士

We are experiencing a significant shift towards more proactive, patient-centered care models. The integration of customized care management strategies and remote patient monitoring in patients that have recently been discharged from a hospital or SNF plays a crucial role in reducing readmissions and enhancing patient outcomes.

Leveraging detailed disease-specific assessments and deploying advanced technologies to track key vital signs and activity levels will enable early detection of patient deterioration..

利用详细的疾病特异性评估并部署先进技术来跟踪关键的生命体征和活动水平，将能够及早发现患者病情恶化。。

This approach doesn’t just personalize care—it significantly boosts the ability to prevent unnecessary readmissions. During this care management outreach, it is critical to collaborate closely with health system partners to craft precise readmission avoidance pathways that ensure that patients are guided to the optimal care setting promptly during exacerbations.

这种方法不仅仅是个性化护理，它还大大提高了防止不必要再入院的能力。在这种护理管理推广过程中，至关重要的是与卫生系统合作伙伴密切合作，制定精确的避免再入院途径，以确保在病情恶化期间及时将患者引导至最佳护理环境。

This evolution in care at home doesn’t only transform care delivery, it also greatly enhances patient outcomes. Furthermore, by minimizing the likelihood of readmissions, we’re not just improving patient quality of life, we’re also contributing to the overall efficiency of our healthcare system..

家庭护理的这种演变不仅改变了护理服务的提供，还大大提高了患者的预后。此外，通过最大程度地减少再入院的可能性，我们不仅提高了患者的生活质量，还为我们医疗保健系统的整体效率做出了贡献。。

This reduction in readmissions directly translates into substantial cost savings, alleviating the financial burden on healthcare systems and patients alike. It is critical to continue to refine these models and strengthen our care coordination partnerships to help pave the way for a healthcare ecosystem that is truly focused on value-based care..

这种再入院率的降低直接转化为大量的成本节约，减轻了医疗保健系统和患者的财务负担。至关重要的是，要继续完善这些模式，加强我们的护理协调伙伴关系，以帮助为真正专注于基于价值的护理的医疗保健生态系统铺平道路。。

The remote deployment of advanced computer vision (CV) technology is revolutionizing at-home physical rehabilitation.

先进计算机视觉（CV）技术的远程部署正在彻底改变家庭物理康复。

Movement analysis enabled through CV technology and therapeutic monitoring is giving clinicians precision insight into patients’ rehab and exercises from home, so they can safely and effectively progress in their recovery journey outside of in-person visits. Deploying CV technology in patients’ homes sets them up with advanced movement detection, which allows clinicians to precisely analyze and interpret their physical movements.

通过CV技术和治疗监测实现的运动分析使临床医生能够精确了解患者在家中的康复和锻炼，因此他们可以在亲自就诊之外安全有效地进行康复。在患者家中部署CV技术可以为他们提供先进的运动检测，从而使临床医生能够精确分析和解释他们的身体运动。

Ensuring remote patients still receive the most appropriate clinical-lead care is paramount, and advanced data capture and analysis is allowing clinicians to give their real-time correctional feedback to facilitate proper form and technique, reducing the risk of injury or reinjury for patients while giving them greater flexibility and access!.

确保远程患者仍然获得最合适的临床铅治疗至关重要，先进的数据采集和分析使临床医生能够提供实时的纠正反馈，以促进适当的形式和技术，降低患者受伤或再次受伤的风险，同时为他们提供更大的灵活性和访问权限！。

Remote patient monitoring is not a new concept in healthcare and has been around for over a decade. However, the promise of remote monitoring is taking a new shape when combined with home healthcare. In its previous iteration, physicians could get alerts about a patient with an implantable device such as a pacemaker or ICD.

远程患者监测在医疗保健领域并不是一个新概念，它已经存在了十多年。然而，当与家庭医疗相结合时，远程监控的前景正在形成新的形态。在之前的迭代中，医生可能会收到有关患者植入起搏器或ICD等植入式设备的警报。

If an anomaly was discovered or an alert sent to the physician, the patient would need to go to the doctor’s office to address the alert. Patient care was still only delivered in the clinic. But with the development of digital therapeutics, we are now delivering care at home..

如果发现异常或向医生发出警报，患者需要前往医生办公室处理警报。病人护理仍然只在诊所提供。但随着数字治疗技术的发展，我们现在正在家中提供护理。。

Digital therapies present a new world for remote monitoring because the devices that are used to deliver treatment are wifi enabled and the data can be sent in real-time to the prescribing clinician. This new ability addresses two key areas to improve healthcare in this country. First, access to this real-time treatment data allows the clinician to intervene and make adjustments to care more quickly, which improves patient engagement, clinical outcomes, and ultimately improves adherence..

数字治疗为远程监测提供了一个新的世界，因为用于提供治疗的设备支持wifi，并且可以将数据实时发送给处方临床医生。这一新能力解决了改善该国医疗保健的两个关键领域。首先，访问这些实时治疗数据可以让临床医生更快地进行干预和调整，从而提高患者的参与度，临床结果，并最终提高依从性。。

Secondly, this eliminates the potential for patient misinformation, either deliberate or unintentional. The physician can improve the treatment paradigm by using data as opposed to patient feedback for making treatment decisions or adjustments.

其次，这消除了患者故意或无意错误信息的可能性。医生可以通过使用数据而不是患者反馈来做出治疗决策或调整，从而改善治疗模式。

I am particularly excited about digital therapies for mental health. There are unique challenges for individuals seeking help in the U.S. for mental health conditions. Currently, in the U.S., more than 60% of people suffering with anxiety disorders are not getting any treatment. The biggest drivers of that are stigma, access, and affordability.

我对心理健康的数字疗法特别兴奋。在美国寻求心理健康帮助的个人面临着独特的挑战。目前，在美国，超过60%的焦虑症患者没有得到任何治疗。最大的驱动因素是耻辱感、可获得性和可承受性。

I truly believe that bringing the treatment to the patient will reduce or eliminate those barriers and promote better patient adherence. Secondly, a large part of the population would prefer not to be on medications due to side effects or long-term commitment. Providing a validated non-medication option will dramatically improve patients’ willingness to seek out treatment.

我真的相信，将治疗带给患者将减少或消除这些障碍，并促进患者更好的依从性。其次，由于副作用或长期承诺，大部分人群宁愿不服用药物。提供经过验证的非药物治疗选择将大大提高患者寻求治疗的意愿。

This will change the shape of mental health care in this country and provide patients the ability to choose the treatment paradigm that best suits them but encourages them to seek out treatment earlier in their diagnosis..

这将改变这个国家的精神卫生保健模式，使患者能够选择最适合自己的治疗模式，但鼓励他们在诊断时尽早寻求治疗。。

Susan Machutt, Vice President and Medical Director at Discern Health

苏珊·马切特（SusanMachutt），Discern Health副总裁兼医疗总监

In recent years, the emphasis on healthcare at home has grown, echoing the historical practice of doctors making house calls. This shift is fueled by the recognition of the healing value derived from meeting patients in their familiar home environments, which can be particularly beneficial for older individuals or those with multiple co-morbidities.

近年来，国内越来越重视医疗保健，这与医生上门拜访的历史惯例相呼应。这种转变是由于人们认识到在熟悉的家庭环境中与患者会面所产生的愈合价值，这对老年人或患有多种合并症的人尤其有益。

At home, healthcare professionals gain a unique perspective and better understanding of patients’ daily lives and challenges..

在国内，医疗保健专业人员对患者的日常生活和挑战有着独特的视角和更好的理解。。

Innovative technologies, including predictive analytics tools, can help providers determine the right interventions for a specific patient and can serve as a tool to help patients better understand what is likely to happen in their healthcare journey in the future to empower them to take proactive steps to prevent adverse events.

包括预测分析工具在内的创新技术可以帮助提供者为特定患者确定正确的干预措施，并可以作为一种工具，帮助患者更好地了解未来医疗保健过程中可能发生的情况，从而使他们能够采取积极措施预防不良事件。

Using predictive analytics tools can help providers focus on what the most impactful interventions will be and help patients get to their optimal state of wellness. In the home setting, these predictions can include not only measurable health markers but also observations of a patient’s physical space – do they live alone, do they have to navigate stairs, etc.

使用预测分析工具可以帮助提供者关注最有影响力的干预措施，并帮助患者达到最佳健康状态。在家庭环境中，这些预测不仅可以包括可测量的健康指标，还可以包括对患者身体空间的观察-他们是否独自生活，是否必须走楼梯等。

– to provide comprehensive guidance on future care needs, something that can be missed in a clinical setting..

–为未来的护理需求提供全面的指导，这在临床环境中可能会错过。。

Cara Lunsford, RN, Vice President of Community at Nurse.com

Cara Lunsford，RN，Nurse.com社区副总裁

As we become increasingly more focused on safe staffing and nurse-to-patient ratios, we are realizing that providing care in the home enables more positive outcomes and fewer hospital readmissions. When nurses transition from providing care in the acute setting to providing care in the home, we learn more about patients’ social determinants of health.

随着我们越来越关注安全的人员配置和护士与患者的比例，我们意识到在家中提供护理可以带来更积极的结果，减少再入院。当护士从在急性环境中提供护理过渡到在家中提供护理时，我们会更多地了解患者健康的社会决定因素。

We are able to see firsthand what living conditions are like in their environment. We have time to sit and talk with them to create a plan of care that can result in significant lifestyle changes..

我们能够直接看到他们环境中的生活条件。我们有时间坐下来与他们交谈，制定一个可以导致生活方式发生重大变化的护理计划。。

To further support ongoing care, home health nurses can encourage the use of wearable devices like smartwatches to track certain health metrics and allow for a better understanding of how the patient is doing in-between visits. Metrics tracked on remote monitoring devices like how much a patient exercises or remains sedentary can prompt valuable questions that lead to a better understanding of how patients are doing outside of traditional healthcare settings..

为了进一步支持持续护理，家庭健康护士可以鼓励使用智能手表等可穿戴设备来跟踪某些健康指标，并更好地了解患者在就诊期间的表现。远程监控设备上跟踪的指标，如患者锻炼或久坐的程度，可以引发有价值的问题，从而更好地了解患者在传统医疗保健环境之外的表现。。

Offering patients convenient, personalized care that fits into their lifestyles empowers patients to be active participants in their healthcare — fostering adherence and satisfaction. Patients are able to seamlessly communicate with their providers, strengthening the crucial patient and provider relationship that is fundamental for successful care.

为患者提供符合其生活方式的方便，个性化护理，使患者能够积极参与医疗保健，促进依从性和满意度。患者能够与他们的提供者无缝沟通，加强关键的患者和提供者关系，这是成功护理的基础。

When patients receive timely feedback to their questions and ongoing guidance they feel truly supported, which translates to better engagement and satisfaction with the care they are receiving..

当患者收到及时的问题反馈和持续的指导时，他们会感到真正的支持，这意味着他们对所接受的护理有更好的参与度和满意度。。

This impacts every facet of healthcare currently and all stakeholders equally. First, from the patient’s perspective, the ability to do a virtual consult or telemedicine appointment creates a better patient journey and reduces the stress of going to the clinician’s office. Which for many people can be a challenge given work schedules, etc..

目前，这对医疗保健的各个方面以及所有利益相关者都产生了平等的影响。首先，从患者的角度来看，进行虚拟咨询或远程医疗预约的能力创造了更好的患者旅程，并减轻了去临床医生办公室的压力。考虑到工作时间表等因素，这对许多人来说可能是一个挑战。。

Improved level of care can be achieved by using both telemedicine and virtual care. Making clinician visits more convenient promotes a more proactive health approach by the patient. This will empower them to take ownership of their healthcare.

通过使用远程医疗和虚拟护理可以提高护理水平。使临床医生的就诊更加方便，可以促进患者采取更积极的健康方法。这将使他们能够拥有自己的医疗保健。

This reduces the burden on the clinician and office staff and creates more efficiencies in the clinician’s office. Seeing patients physically requires incredible effort to orchestrate with the staff and the doctor. It is also more taxing to the individual physician. The ability to break up the day for the clinician by using virtual or telephonic means of following up with patients provides the clinician a break from the physical toll associated with running around the office and can reduce the time spent with patients because they can limit those appointments to a specific time allotment..

这减轻了临床医生和办公室工作人员的负担，并提高了临床医生办公室的效率。看病人的身体需要与工作人员和医生进行协调，这需要付出惊人的努力。这对医生个人来说也更为沉重。通过使用虚拟或电话方式跟进患者，临床医生可以休息一天，使临床医生可以摆脱办公室跑步带来的身体负担，并可以减少与患者相处的时间，因为他们可以将这些预约限制在特定的时间分配内。。

Lastly, achieving the right balance of virtual care and in-person care will create significant cost savings for the health system. The adoption of telemedicine and virtual healthcare is not merely changing the landscape for at-home healthcare but is reshaping the entire healthcare consumer experience..

最后，实现虚拟护理和亲自护理的正确平衡将为卫生系统节省大量成本。远程医疗和虚拟医疗的采用不仅改变了家庭医疗的格局，而且正在重塑整个医疗保健消费者的体验。。
