Summary:

- The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has launched a new model called the Acute Hospital Care at Home program. This program allows eligible hospitals to provide acute inpatient care to patients in their homes instead of in the hospital.

- The goal of this program is to reduce unnecessary and inappropriate services in the original Medicare program. By providing care at home, it can help prevent hospital-acquired infections and other complications that can occur during a hospital stay.

- The Acute Hospital Care at Home program is part of CMS's efforts to modernize and improve the Medicare program. It provides more flexibility and options for patients to receive the care they need in the comfort of their own homes.
