Stakeholders’ perspectives on the necessary requirements of implementing the Hospital-at-Home program: a qualitative study

The study highlights that successful implementation of the HaH program in Iran is influenced by economic, legal, and socio-cultural factors, as well as the policies of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME). Addressing the challenges in these areas requires a comprehensive and integrated approach. Additionally, the program's success depends on development of precise structures within the healthcare system, which involves configuring this program within the healthcare service processes, executive support from managers and beneficiary healthcare centers, and the development of essential infrastructure. The findings provide valuable insights for managers, policymakers, and stakeholders, offering guidance on the design and implementation of the HaH program as a supplement to routine healthcare services.
