Overview

Retrospective cohort study explored readmission and mortality in hospital at home vs. traditional care, revealing higher readmission risks.

Key Points

  • Patients in the hospital at home program had a higher readmission rate within 30 days compared to traditional hospital care.
  • The primary outcome showed that 11.9% of HaH patients were readmitted within 30 days, representing a significant increase over the 7.78% readmission rate of non-HaH patients.
  • The evaluation utilized electronic health record data and propensity score matching to account for non-random group assignment.
  • These findings suggest that while hospital at home may replicate some hospital care, it presents a concern for readmission rates.
