Home hospital care is hospital-level care at home for acutely ill patients. In multiple publications mostly in urban environments, home hospital care delivered cost-effective, high-quality, excellent experience care with similar quality and safety as traditional hospital care. Most home hospital models deliver care in urban environments, not in rural environments.~To further improve the model, the investigators propose to determine the feasibility of home hospital care in a rural home setting through a proof-of-concept approach.
This study examines the implications of providing hospital-level care in rural homes.
