2026 Hospital at Home Leadership Summit

2026 Hospital at Home Leadership Summit is organized by Business Research & Intelligence (BRI) Network and will be held from Sep 28 - 29, 2026 at JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa, Scottsdale, Arizona, United States of America.

Description:
Congress extended the CMS Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver through September 2030, creating opportunity for health systems to establish and scale in-home acute care programs. With 366 programs across 139 health systems already approved, hospital at home has moved from pandemic emergency response to permanent care delivery transformation. Research demonstrates lower 30-day mortality rates, fewer hospital-acquired conditions, reduced costs and higher patient satisfaction compared to traditional inpatient care. Yet standing up these programs requires navigating complex operational, clinical, financial and regulatory challenges that traditional hospital operations don’t address.

Business Research Intelligence Network’s Hospital at Home Healthcare Leadership Summit brings together hospital leaders, medical directors, operations leaders, care coordination teams and innovators who are launching, operating and scaling acute care at home programs. Attendees will explore proven models ranging from full-service programs with multiple daily nursing visits to hybrid approaches serving lower-acuity patients who can move freely during treatment. Sessions examine patient selection criteria, staffing and workflow design, technology infrastructure, payer contracting, quality measurement and strategies for achieving program sustainability beyond pilot funding. Leaders from health systems operating successful programs share candid insights about what worked, what failed and what they’d do differently.

Whether your organization is exploring hospital at home for the first time or seeking to expand an existing program across multiple sites, this summit provides actionable strategies for building programs that improve access, enhance quality and demonstrate measurable value. The five-year waiver extension signals long-term viability, making 2026 the ideal time to invest in hospital at home capabilities that will define care delivery for years to come.
