Benefits for patients

Hospital admission can be associated with complications, particularly for older patients, and adverse events include delirium, functional decline, falls, depression, malnutrition, and hospital acquired infections. Therefore, treating patients in their home is not only a question of comfort, but can also be a mean to reduce morbidity and even mortality.

The international experiences of conducting acute care in the home has been thoroughly evaluated and studied for many years and is associated with fewer in-hospital complications and adverse events, increased patient and caregiver satisfaction, improved functional outcomes, conservation of hospital resources, and high-cost effectiveness.
