The goal of Distributed Diagnosis and Home Healthcare (D2H2) is to improve quality of care and patient wellness and outcomes by transforming the delivery of health care from a central, hospital-based system to one that is more distributed, patient-centered and home-based. D2H2 will benefit patients by improving the quality and convenience of care, controlling health care cost, and preventing medical errors, thus leading to increased access to affordable and effective health care.
