PERCEPTION OF STAKEHOLDERS’ READINESS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HEALTH SYSTEM POLICY AND IMPLEMENTATION IN SCALING UP HOSPITAL-AT-HOME CARE MODEL: A DESCRIPTIVE QUALITATIVE STUDY
Introduction
•Many Hospital-at-Home (HaH) programs have proliferated in recent years to cope with the increasing demands of an ageing population and global hospital bed shortages. Similarly, Singapore has implemented its own version, Mobile Inpatient Care at Home (MIC@Home).
• Although promising, HaH faces challenges in achieving widespread adoption and remains relatively small. Many HaH programs, including those in Singapore, have yet to scale effectively, raising concerns about their long-term viability.
•Hence, a clear implementation strategy is needed.
Aim
To address:
(1)What is the readiness of Singapore's health system partners to scale up HaH? and
(2) What multi-level strategies are necessary for the successful scaling of HaH in Singapore?
Method
•A descriptive qualitative study design was used.
•Through purposive sampling, 32 participants (16 HaH clinicians, 11 enabling units, and 5 regulators) were recruited and semi-structured interviews were conducted.
•The interviews were transcribed using Trint and thematically analysed using Atlas.ti via Braun and Clarke’s six-step inductive approach
