Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialThe effectiveness, acceptability and costs of a hospital-at-home service compared with acute hospital care: a randomized controlled trial.
To compare the safety, effectiveness, acceptability and costs of a hospital-at-home programme with usual acute hospital inpatient care. ⋯ This hospital-at-home programme was found to be more acceptable and as effective and safe as inpatient care. While caring for patients at home was significantly more costly than standard inpatient care, this was largely due to the hospital-at-home programme not operating at full capacity.
