Ariadne Labs Launches Rural Home Hospital Project Study
Staff Contact: Dana Dahl
Ariadne Labs’ Rural Home Hospital project is testing a solution to meet the growing challenges of rural health care in America by providing patients with acute, hospital-level care in their homes as a substitute for traditional hospital care. Each study site will receive hands-on, technical support from Ariadne Labs to design and launch a rural home hospital model. In addition, each site will receive $190,000 to secure the right technology and equipment, subsidize staffing costs, and designate a study coordinator. Applications are being accepted until Monday, Nov. 16. Interested parties can download a request for proposal and follow the proposal submission template available on the website. Clarifying questions and proposals can be submitted via email to Liz Wilson at lwilson@ariadnelabs.org and Joey Ross at jross@ariadnelabs.org.
