To accomplish this, organizational change and culture needed to be considered given both surface and deeply ingrained technologies.

Learning Objectives:

1. Attendees will be provided the real-life learnings of activating a, $2.5B, 2M square-foot facility with deeply-integrated AI, innovative location and video technologies, and more robots than any hospital in the world.
2. Attendees will learn why many of today's innovation aspirations are often surface-level, and how deep technology integration provides a platform to better take advantage of tomorrow's disruptive innovations.
3. Attendees will understand difficulties that must be navigated in order to provide technology-advancement opportunities in the face of challenging human and change factors.

Session Description:

Care-at-home programs, such as the high-acuity hospital-at-home model, are increasingly vital in modern healthcare. Given the rapid shift towards home as the preferred alternative site of care, care-at-home programs offer flexibility, accessibility, and efficiency in healthcare delivery. To uphold the provision of high-quality and safe care, successful planning and deployment demands careful consideration of various factors, including patient engagement, technological infrastructure, and workflow integration. In this workshop, we explore how simulation techniques can revolutionize care-at-home program design and implementation.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the foundation of simulation techniques and the use cases in healthcare
2. Learn to leverage simulation methodology to optimize care-at-home program planning and deployment
3. Gain practical experience through interactive role-playing exercises and simulated use cases
