Hospital at Home – continued care in the home setting
Medically and nursing-led care in the home setting, connected to the treating hospital – with video consultations, remote monitoring and defined escalation routes.
An important distinction
Hospital at Home is continued care close to the hospital and expressly not a substitute for inpatient hospital treatment. The indication is set by a physician in each individual case.
Step by step
How it works
- 1
Eligibility review
A physician assesses whether care at home is viable in this case.
- 2
Setting up
Care is established at home; patient and relatives are briefed.
- 3
Video visits & monitoring
Regular visits by video, vital signs under coordinated monitoring.
- 4
Escalation route
A defined route back into hospital should the condition require it.
Benefits
- Care in familiar surroundings, supported close to the hospital
- Relief for inpatient capacity
- A transparent course of care for everyone involved
- A link to the telemedical structures the Hospital Transformation Fund supports
