Care is Safe…
In studies comparing Hospital at Home to regular hospital care, Hospital at Home patients were less likely to experience complications such as delirium (acute confusion) and were much less likely to be prescribed sedative medications or chemical restraints. In addition, patients and family members were as likely as those treated in the hospital to feel that the care delivered was safe.
…And the Quality of Care is High Patients and family members also judged the quality of Hospital at Home care to be better than care provided in the acute hospital. They found relationships with the physicians and other health providers more satisfactory, and preferred the Hospital at Home admission and discharge process.
Hospital at Home patients found their home a more comfortable setting in which to receive the acute care. In addition, these patients were just as likely to meet illness-specific quality indicators as those treated in the acute hospital.
