Overview

Retrospective cohort study finds hospital-at-home reduces hospital stay and medical costs in Taiwan, indicating improved patient outcomes.

Key Points

  • The hospital-at-home model significantly reduced length of stay, achieving an adjusted OR of 0.53 and p = 0.028, enhancing patient care delivery.
  • Patients in the hospital-at-home cohort showed lower medical expenditures, with an adjusted OR of 0.18 and p < 0.001, indicating cost-effectiveness.
  • A matched cohort analysis highlighted that 73.9% of hospital-at-home patients transitioned to home healthcare successfully, compared to just 7.3% in traditional settings.
  • HaH approach did not lead to significant differences in emergency department visits or rehospitalization rates, ensuring patient safety while maintaining satisfaction.
