Mass General Brigham aims to transition 10% of its medical patients to at-home care, with potential to move up to 30-40% eventually. The health system partners with Best Buy for at-home care services, focusing on patients with conditions like heart failure, COPD, and pneumonia. The Covid-19 pandemic has increased acceptance of virtual and at-home care, leading Mass General Brigham to advocate for extending coverage for hospital-at-home programs beyond the public health emergency. At-home care is seen as a more patient-centric and satisfying alternative to traditional hospital settings, potentially reducing healthcare worker burnout.
