OpenHaH is designed for anyone involved in building or implementing advanced care at home programs. This includes:

• Health system leaders: CMOs, CNOs, VPs of Virtual Care, Hospital at Home directors, and population health leaders

• Technology leaders: CIOs, CTOs, clinical informatics directors, EMR architects, and health tech product managers

• Clinical operators: Program managers, workflow designers, care coordinators running hospital-at-home or virtual care programs

• Researchers & policy experts: Health services researchers, reimbursement specialists, and quality measurement experts

Whether you're just exploring care at home models or scaling an established program, OpenHaH provides frameworks, tools, and community support to accelerate your work.

There are multiple ways to engage based on your goals and capacity:

• Consumer: Access all open-source resources, frameworks, and tools. No contribution required, though sharing your implementation experience helps others.

• Contributor: Actively improve the shared framework by submitting templates, case studies, workflow documentation, or technical specifications. Participate in community discussions and provide feedback.

• Builder: Lead or co-lead development of major framework components. Participate in working groups and shape community direction through sustained engagement.

• Partner (Organizations): Provide financial support or dedicated staff resources to accelerate OpenHaH's mission. Partner organizations receive governance input and recognition while helping sustain the community infrastructure.

OpenHaH is built on open-source principles—the more people contribute, the stronger the frameworks become. However, expectations vary by participation level:

• If you're accessing resources only: No formal contribution required, though we encourage sharing lessons learned from your implementations

• If you're contributing content: Share de-identified outcomes, workflow templates, implementation guides, or technical documentation. Participate respectfully in community discussions

• If you're leading working groups: Commit to regular attendance, complete assigned deliverables, and help mentor other community members

All contributions must protect patient privacy (no PHI/PII), respect intellectual property, and follow our open-source licensing (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0). You retain credit for your work while allowing others to build upon it.

OpenHaH focuses on three interconnected pillars that together create a complete foundation for advanced care at home:

Clinical Model Framework: Standardized program definitions, evidence-based inclusion/exclusion criteria, staffing models with ratios and competencies, clinical workflow templates, documentation standards, safety protocols, and billing guidance.

Analytics & Measurement Framework: Standardized KPI definitions across clinical quality, operational efficiency, and financial performance. Includes benchmarking methodology, reporting templates, outcomes measurement protocols, and risk stratification models.

Technology & Interoperability Framework: EMR configuration guides for Epic, Cerner, and other platforms. Integration patterns, data standards (FHIR implementation), technology stack requirements, vendor evaluation frameworks, and security/compliance specifications.

These frameworks are developed collaboratively through working groups where health system and technology leaders build together, ensuring solutions are both clinically sound and technically feasible.

Several factors make OpenHaH unique in the advanced care at home landscape:

Open-source and freely accessible: Unlike proprietary playbooks or membership-gated content, everything we build is freely available under Creative Commons licensing. No paywalls, no membership fees.

Builder-focused, not just discussion: While many industry groups facilitate networking and knowledge sharing, OpenHaH is specifically designed for creating tangible, implementable frameworks. We're building the actual infrastructure—clinical protocols, analytics definitions, technical specifications.

Health systems and technology building together: Most forums separate clinical and technical audiences. OpenHaH intentionally brings both to the table because effective advanced care at home requires both clinical excellence and technical sophistication.

Standardization across the three pillars: Rather than fragmented resources, we're creating integrated frameworks spanning clinical models, analytics, and technology that work together as a complete system.

Vendor-neutral: While technology partners participate, all frameworks are designed to work across multiple platforms and vendors. We're not building for a single EMR or proprietary system.

OpenHaH complements other industry efforts—we're not competing with associations or advocacy groups, but rather providing the practical building blocks that operationalize the vision they promote.
