Internship Program in Home Hospitalization.

Home hospitalization is a model of medical care in which hospital care is provided in the patient's home. This model has emerged in response to the need to reduce hospital stay while reducing costs, improving quality of care, and improving patient satisfaction.

Learn how to provide hospital home care with our hands-on, classroom-based program.

Home hospitalization is appropriate for patients with acute and chronic illnesses that do not require prolonged hospitalization in a hospital setting. Palliative care patients may also benefit from palliative care at home. In addition, home hospitalization has been used for patients who require complex medical care such as wound treatment and intravenous medication administration. The primary goal of home hospitalization is to provide quality hospital care in the patient's home, which can improve the patient experience and increase satisfaction. Home hospitalization can also prevent re-hospitalization and reduce health care costs. However, home hospitalization is not suitable for all patients and cases, as patients who require intensive medical care or who have multiple illnesses may require traditional hospitalization.

Home hospitalization is a model of care in which the patient receives medical care in his or her familiar environment, which can be beneficial to both the patient and the family. It is an approach to care that allows for the delivery of personalized, high-quality medical care in a more welcoming and less stressful environment.

TECH the largest digital university designed this training to provide knowledge and skills needed to work as a team within a home health care environment. The goal of this program is to train in the delivery of high quality care to patients in their homes and prepare them to address the challenges and issues specific to home hospitalization.
