It is very necessary for physical therapy professionals to update their knowledge in the field of Home Hospitalization in order to successfully face the challenges that this profession presents” 

Demographic change requires an extreme rethinking of health care, previously focused on acute processes and cure as the primary objective, with hospitals as the center of care. The idea is to lean towards a medicine aimed at care rather than cure and having the person and his or her closest environment, the home where he or she lives, as its center. This is without reducing the quality of care or the use of hospital-intensive resources, but being much more efficient in the use and consumption of both public and private resources.  

Home Hospitalization is the driving force of change in modern healthcare with care focused on people and their health and social needs.  

The patients and users have already experienced the change that TECH is been hearing about year after year and for decades from the various medical societies and healthcare managers. As we have seen, this is also an aging society, with chronic problems that are exacerbated and care needs outside the hospital setting, but with the intensity, technology and knowledge that are provided daily in hospitals. And here, the best educated and prepared to lead this change are the Home Hospitalization Units.
