| Annotation | Although hospital-at-home schemes are an increasingly popular way of delivering health care and have existed since 1961, there have been few randomised controlled trials which have considered them as an effective alternative to standard hospital care. Furthermore, some studies have produced conflicting results. Although there is accumulating evidence that they produce satisfactory patient outcomes and are acceptable to patients and carers, their cost-effectiveness is still uncertain. This paper discusses the evidence to support hospital-at-home as an alternative and complementary model of health care particularly for older people. (RH). |
