PATHways (Promoting Appropriate Transitions to Home) Investment Program is a grant from the Massachusetts Health Policy Commission that funds hospital-to-home programs at acute care hospitals across Massachusetts. The program supports hospitals in streamlining patient discharges directly into home and community settings, rather than skilled nursing facilities or other institutional care.
Priority is given to partnerships between hospitals and Aging Services Access Points (ASAPs). This initiative responds to findings that approximately 2,000 patients per day remain hospitalized despite being medically ready for discharge, contributing to capacity constraints and longer stays. A total of $1,890,000 is available, distributed across up to 9 awards of up to $210,000 each.
Eligible applicants are acute care hospitals in Massachusetts. The application deadline is June 4, 2026.

PATHways Investment Program | Massachusetts Health Policy Commission PATHways Investment Program The HPC’s Promoting Appropriate Transitions to Home (PATHways) investment program will support acute care hospitals in Massachusetts to advance hospital-to-home programs, streamlining patient discharges into their homes and communities rather than into skilled nursing facilities or other institutional settings.
The HPC’s new Promoting Appropriate Transitions to Home (PATHways) investment program will support acute care hospitals in Massachusetts to advance hospital-to-home programs, streamlining patient discharges into their homes and communities rather than into skilled nursing facilities or other institutional settings.
Following a hospital stay, patients may face numerous barriers setting up the appropriate services to enable them to discharge directly home or to a community-based setting, even when these may be the most appropriate settings for their continued care.
The Massachusetts Transitions from Acute Care to Post Acute Care (TACPAC) Task Force found that, each day, there are 2,000 patients on average that remain hospitalized despite being medically ready for discharge . Along with patient care quality impacts, challenges discharging patients from inpatient care exacerbate capacity constraints that result in increased lengths of hospital stays and emergency department boarding .
The HPC has found that lengths of stay of greater than 30 days are increasing as a proportion of hospital stays, and account for half of the growth in bed days since 2016. This program provides an opportunity for both new and existing hospital-to-home programs, specifically through partnerships between Aging Services Access Points (ASAPs) and acute care hospitals in Massachusetts.
PATHways has been designed to build on the Executive Office of Aging & Independence (AGE)-funded Hospital to Home Partnership Program, which supported partnerships between hospitals and ASAPs and ended in 2025. The program will fund nine awards for a total of $1.
89 million , including: seven awards of up to $210,000 each from the Distressed Hospital Trust Fund, and; two awards of up to $210,000 each from the Payment Reform Trust Fund, which All Acute Hospitals are eligible for.
