In this first episode of the WHAHC Congress Catch-Up series, we break down the inspiring closing keynote lecture from the 2025 World Hospital at Home Congress, presented by WHAHC Co-Chair Prof. Bruce Leff. The session captured just how far the field has come and where it’s headed next, and presented a wonderful overview of the entire WHAHC 2025.

From complex cancer treatments and pediatric care delivered at home, to AI-powered monitoring, rapid response teams, and robust international scaling efforts, the message was clear: Hospital at Home isn’t a fringe idea anymore - it’s fast becoming a core part of modern healthcare systems.

You’ll also hear about:

• Safety data showing fewer infections and lower readmission rates

• Innovations from augmented reality to automated medication kits

• New thinking on defining success, training teams, and involving patients and caregivers

• The vision of “a hospital in any home” and what it could mean for the future of care

This podcast topic is relevant for: clinicians, health system leaders, policymakers, researchers, innovators, and anyone working to expand or understand acute care outside hospital walls.
