The Lead Home Care Agency (LHA) model is a new model of care that provides a more seamless experience for patients, caregivers and health care providers to improve patient outcomes and population health while also being more cost-effective. The LHA model provides enhanced and more integrated supports throughout a patient’s care journey, including the transition from hospital to home.
