An Act establishing the hospital to home partnership program

H 4432 establishes the Hospital to Home Partnership Program within the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. It requires participating acute-care hospitals to include an Aging Services Access Point (ASAP) staff member as a dedicated liaison to help patients transition to home or community-based care instead of skilled nursing facilities. The program aims to improve coordination between hospitals and community providers, streamlining discharges to reduce institutional placements. This directly affects hospitals, ASAPs, and patients needing post-hospital care services.
