ACUITY-ADAPTABLE HOME AND ROOMS
Acuity-adaptable homes or just rooms take advantage of the notion that moving technology and expertise to an elder or patient’s bedside may improve safety and outcomes — compared with continually moving him or her to the technology and the clinical expertise.
While this notion can be challenging to implement, its elegance has some providers experimenting with keeping folks in one room to deliver all levels of home and health care.
Some early evidence suggests promising results — such as good patient outcomes and savings on staffing. Other reviews are mixed because of the drastic changes required in staffing models, infrastructure design and workflow.
Thus, the age-in-place philosophy is advancing.
