Rapid Response Home Care as an Alternative to Acute Admission
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Admission avoidance Hospital at Home: The intervention group is evaluated in their homes by a mobile rapid response team to determine whether they can be safely treated at home instead of being admitted to the hospital. If deemed suitable, the patient receives treatment at home.
Study summary
This single-center, randomized, unblinded quality-improvement study evaluates whether a structured home-based rapid response team (RRT) intervention can safely reduce total hospital days among adults referred to the emergency department with suspected infection. Patients referred from general practitioners or the regional medical helpline (1813) between 09:00 and 22:00 are randomized 1:1 using Zelen's design to either standard in-hospital evaluation or a home-based assessment pathway delivered by a mobile clinical response team.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Days Alive Outside of Hospital — 30 days from inclusion
Number of days alive outside of hospital 30 days after initial referral (time of inclusion), including days receiving treatment at home.
