From the healthcare management point of view, this model provides cost benefits and quality improvement, and from the physicians' point of view, it helps in providing patient-centered medical care and keeps patients away from hospital admission and its complications. The HaH model was first introduced at John Hopkins in the United States in 1995, which showed very promising results in context to the length of stay, readmission rates, patient satisfaction, and hospital-acquired infections. The HaH model of care provides acute critical care to patients at home and reduces unnecessary hospitalization and related complications. The identified patients for this model of care are elderly patients with chronic conditions and multiple comorbidities. The emergence of technology in today's world and the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have increased the demand for the HaH model of care. Although there are many benefits and advantages, the HaH model of care has significant barriers and limitations, such as reimbursement for payment, physician and patient resistance, patient safety, and lack of quantifying research data to support the use of this model. Specific training for the physician, nursing, and other members of the HaH multidisciplinary team is necessary for HaH treatment protocols, along with patient and family caregiver education for those who elect the HaH model of care. HaH is the future of comprehensive healthcare services and helps in achieving the triple aim of access to healthcare, improved quality of care, and reduced cost for healthcare.</p>","PeriodicalId":73170,"journal":{"name":"Global journal on quality and safety in healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/8a/a9/i2589-9449-4-4-141.PMC10229033.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9559038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These two goals are rapidly changing, and they could be affected by many of the surrounding factors. When a healthcare organization faces a problem in achieving these two goals, it is important to understand the causes and immediately start the appropriate interventions. One principle of quality improvement in healthcare is to do it right the first time, so it is important to do the right intervention promptly by targeting the most vital contributing factors that led to the problem at hand. By nature, healthcare organizations are complicated, also have been described as a complex adaptive system, which is one of the most difficult systems to understand and manage because one problem could be linked to many contributing factors at the same time. The concept of the Pareto principle was developed in the 19th century by the economist Vilfredo Pareto, who noticed that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by just 20% of the population. Moreover, he found that 80% of production usually came from only 20% of the companies. This led him to a general hypothesis that 80% of the results are originated from 20% of the factors or causes that influence the results. The Pareto principle, which is also known as the rule of 20/80, has become an important quality tool, recognized by the American Society for Quality (ASQ) as one of seven basic quality tools for process improvement.
