In this episode of WHAHC Congress Catch-Up, we focus on one of the most critical enablers of Hospital at Home (HaH) success: education, training, and workforce readiness. Drawing from the WHAHC 2025 symposium “Building a World-Class Hospital-at-Home Team Through Experience, Interactive Education & Training,” chaired by Karen Titchener (Maribel Health, USA), this session explored how leading programs in the U.S. and U.K. are preparing clinicians to deliver acute, hospital-level care safely and confidently in patients’ homes.

You’ll also hear about:
• Why HaH requires a fundamental mindset shift—from team-based hospital care to autonomous decision-making in unpredictable home environments
• How long-standing U.K. programs embed HaH training into medical and nursing career pathways through structured rotations and cross-setting experience
• The role of simulation-based education—including “real home” scenarios that test safety awareness, communication, and critical thinking
• Maribel Health’s four-stage blended learning model, combining didactics, skills training, high-fidelity simulation, and ongoing mentorship
• Compelling evidence that targeted coaching and communication training can rapidly increase HaH admissions and program sustainability
• The future of HaH education, including adaptive learning platforms, VR/AR simulation, and AI-enabled clinical support

This episode is essential listening for educators, clinical leaders, and program builders designing scalable, high-quality HaH services—where autonomy, trust, and human-centered care are as important as clinical expertise.
