A recent study published in the Annals of Surgery found the feasibility and efficacy of Hospital at Home (HaH) enabled early transfer pathways for surgical patients. HaH was designed as a secure alternative to conventional hospitalization and extends acute care to patients within the comfort of their homes by utilizing a comprehensive range of hospital-level interventions.
The study spanned from November 2021 to May 2023 and enrolled 325 patients who underwent six different surgeries with a predefined early transfer pathway. These pathways were established based on various criteria such as clinical and hemodynamic stability, the absence of complications during surgery, and the presence of a caregiver.
