The initiative aims to advance connected health technologies by establishing best practices and addressing industry fragmentation.
DiMe CEO Jennifer Goldsack said: “Hospital-at-home models have already proven their ability to reduce costs, improve patient outcomes, and enhance satisfaction.”
CHcc’s first project, Advancing a Sustainable Hospital-at-Home Ecosystem at Scale, is spearheaded by DiMe and CTA.
The project’s primary goal is to enhance the appropriate technology use for optimising hospital-at-home services, bringing together experts from healthcare, technology, patient organisations, and government.

By GlobalDataThe founding membership of CHcc includes a diverse group of organisations such as AdaptHealth, Amazon Web Services, American Nurses Association, Mayo Clinic, Mass General Hospital, Medically Home, Oracle, US Department of Veterans Affairs and many more.
Medically Home chief medical officer and chief strategy officer Pippa Shulman said: “Connected health technologies are fundamental to providing this transformative model of care delivery, and the project will contribute to a needed framework of standards for sustainable hospital-at-home programmes.”
These entities will collaborate to build an array of free resources designed to support healthcare organisations in expanding and optimising hospital-at-home technologies.
In addition to advancing hospital-at-home technologies, the CHcc project will tackle the issue of fragmentation in connected health by leveraging interdisciplinary expertise to establish best practices throughout the ecosystem.
The initiative is also aligning its efforts with government programmes.
These include the Veterans’ Health Administration’s Home-Based Primary Care, the CMS Acute Hospital Care at Home programme, and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Older Adult Home Modification Program (OAHMP).
It also is in line with private sector connected care programmes.
