Home hospital care for adults after sudden illness
Part of Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether certain adults can safely receive hospital-level care at home instead of staying in the hospital, using a home care team. It may help you recover in your own home if your condition fits their plan and you have support at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You live within 5 miles or about a 20-minute drive of the emergency department
- You’re at least 18 years old and able to consent (or you can use a proxy caregiver who can consent)
- A caregiver can stay with you for the first 24 hours, and check in with the care team as needed after that
- Your emergency team believes you have one of certain diagnoses (like infection, heart failure, pneumonia, COPD/asthma, or complications of diabetes) or you want only medical treatment that still needs admission
- You must have safe home conditions (a stable place to live, working heat/air conditioning based on the season, and running water)
