HOMED HOSPITAL AT HOME MODEL

HOMED Hospital at Home Model

HOMED was one of the early pioneers of advanced home-based medical care in Greece, introducing a model that allowed selected patients to receive structured, hospital-level support in their own homes.

This approach was developed to serve patients who needed close medical follow-up, coordinated treatment, and repeated clinical interventions, while remaining in a familiar environment whenever hospital admission was not essential.

A Model Introduced by HOMED

Starting in 1995, HOMED helped establish a home-based care model in which medical visits, nursing support, diagnostic testing, and treatment coordination could take place outside the hospital.

This was not simply home assistance. It was a structured medical approach designed for patients who required a high level of attention, follow-up, and continuity of care.

How the Model Worked

Patients were evaluated medically, and when home-based management was appropriate, care could be organized through coordinated visits, monitoring, and ongoing communication between healthcare professionals.

Depending on the clinical situation, care could include medical assessment, treatment supervision, diagnostic support, blood tests, and other necessary interventions performed at home.

Scientific Guidance and Clinical Training

Over time, this model contributed to the broader development of organized home-based care. Today, similar approaches are implemented in different settings by nursing teams working under medical direction and structured clinical guidance.

HOMED continues to support this field through scientific supervision, professional education, practical training in demanding techniques, and extensive educational material for healthcare professionals.

Why This Legacy Matters

The importance of advanced care at home lies in proper patient selection, strong medical oversight, and the ability to coordinate services safely and efficiently.

HOMED’s long experience in this field helped demonstrate that high-level medical care can be delivered beyond the hospital walls when supported by the right systems, training, and clinical leadership.
