Overview
Shields at Home partners with hospitals and health systems to design, implement, and operate Hospital-at-Home programs that expand capacity, improve patient satisfaction, and deliver high-quality acute care in the home setting. The company was founded in 2022, is based in Tampa, Florida, and operates as a division of Shields Health Innovations. The wider Shields organization also includes Shields Health Solutions, which manages outpatient specialty pharmacy operations for more than 75 health system partners and 1,000 hospitals nationwide.
Our highly collaborative approach combines operational expertise, implementation support, workflow design, and technology integration to help organizations successfully launch and scale sustainable Hospital-at-Home programs. The company's model covers tailored program design for both new and existing programs, a network of people, technology and services for delivering hospital-level care at home, and workflow and operational support. The company reports that it can launch programs within 5 months and has served 5 hospitals.
Its first Hospital-at-Home program was launched with Tampa General Hospital, and the company has since supported that program's expansion into additional hospitals within the system while extending its work to health systems in Florida and New York. As health systems continue to explore innovative care models and capitalize on the CMS Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver extension through 2030, Shields at Home provides the partnership and experience needed to confidently extend care beyond the traditional hospital setting.
