Hospital at Home is featured as an Innovative Care Model. A research project conducted by Health Workforce Solutions (HWS)  identified 24 leading models of care that could be widely replicated throughout the United States.  Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, HWS generated nearly 200 leads and selected 60 care models for in-depth research interviews. In addition, HWS convened groups of leading nurse executives, nurse academics, and health care executives to discuss criteria for ranking care delivery models and strategies to encourage model replication. Using this criteria, HWS winnowed the group to 24 innovative care delivery models. Complete profiles of each model, including a detailed description, impetus for its development, results, considerations for implementation and replication, and selected tools are published on the website. The Innovative Care Model project, and Hospital at Home, have also been featured in Health Affairs Grant Watch.
