Activity Overview 

Hospital at Home programs allow patients who need acute care to receive their treatment in the comfort of their homes rather than in a hospital. Setup of these programs is complex and pharmacies are an integral part of these programs. This webinar will describe high level informatics considerations in the implementation of a Hospital at Home program.
