          Abstract

          Abstract Introduction: Home Care (HC) is directly responsible for reducing the demand for hospital beds in Brazil. Brazilian Home Hospitalization model in the private sector was built on continuous nursing care for the last 30-years without further review. Objectives: Find if Brazilian Home Hospitalization model aligns with the different HC models in effect around the world, evaluate its limitations and challenges and propose a new cost-effective model of domiciliary care in Brazil called Hospital at Home (HaH). Method: Review of articles published in databases, conference proceedings, clinical practice guidelines, and government regulations between 2006-2022. 920 patients receiving care in the Home Hospitalization modality by a private HC company in Brazil were analyzed in November 2022. Results: European and North American HC models are not built on continuous nursing care. 920 patients receiving care in the Home Hospitalization modality by a private HC company in Brazil had their eligibility assessed in November 2022 to be included in the new HaH model, proposed with 10 evidence-based pillars where a multidisciplinary team is aided by a care partner engagement approach and a clinical management strategy based on data analysis supported by digital health resources. Conclusions: We believe the HaH model will reshape home hospitalization in Brazil, set up the groundwork for value-based Home Care and contribute to the sustainability of Brazilian HC.

          Resumen Introducción: Home Care (HC) es directamente responsable por la reducción de la demanda de camas hospitalarias en Brasil. El modelo brasileño de hospitalización domiciliaria en el sector privado se basó en la atención continua de enfermería durante los últimos 30 años sin revisión adicional. Objetivos: Descubrir si el modelo brasileño de hospitalización domiciliaria se alinea con los diferentes modelos HC vigentes en todo el mundo, analizar sus limitaciones y desafíos y proponer un nuevo modelo rentable de atención domiciliaria en Brasil llamado Hospital at Home (HaH). Método: Revisión de artículos publicados en bases de datos, actas de congresos, guías de práctica clínica y regulaciones gubernamentales entre 2006-2022. Se analizaron 920 pacientes atendidos en la modalidad de Hospitalización Domiciliaria por una empresa privada de HC en Brasil en noviembre de 2022. Resultados: Los modelos de HC europeos y norteamericanos no se basan en cuidados de enfermería continuos. Si analizó la elegibilidad de 920 pacientes atendidos en la modalidad de Hospitalización Domiciliaria por una empresa privada de HC en Brasil en noviembre de 2022 para inclusión en el nuevo modelo HaH, propuesto con 10 pilares basados en evidencia donde un equipo multidisciplinario es ayudado por enfoque de participación del socio de atención y una estrategia de gestión clínica basada en análisis de datos apoyados en recursos digitales de salud. Conclusiones: Creemos que el modelo HaH remodelará la hospitalización domiciliaria en Brasil, establecerá las bases para la atención domiciliaria basada en el valor y contribuirá a la sostenibilidad de la HC brasileña.

            Remote Patient Monitoring Program for Hospital Discharged COVID-19 Patients

            Objective We deployed a Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) program to monitor patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) upon hospital discharge. We describe the patient characteristics, program characteristics, and clinical outcomes of patients in our RPM program. Methods We enrolled COVID-19 patients being discharged home from the hospital. Enrolled patients had an app, and were provided with a pulse oximeter and thermometer. Patients self-reported symptoms, O2 saturation, and temperature daily. Abnormal symptoms or vital signs were flagged and assessed by a pool of nurses. Descriptive statistics were used to describe patient and program characteristics. A mixed-effects logistic regression model was used to determine the odds of a combined endpoint of emergency department (ED) or hospital readmission. Results A total of 295 patients were referred for RPM from five participating hospitals, and 225 patients were enrolled. A majority of enrolled patients (66%) completed the monitoring period without triggering an abnormal alert. Enrollment was associated with a decreased odds of ED or hospital readmission (adjusted odds ratio: 0.54; 95% confidence interval: 0.3–0.97; p = 0.039). Referral without enrollment was not associated with a reduced odds of ED or hospital readmission. Conclusion RPM for COVID-19 provides a mechanism to monitor patients in their home environment and reduce hospital utilization. Our work suggests that RPM reduces readmissions for patients with COVID-19 and provides scalable remote monitoring capabilities upon hospital discharge. RPM for postdischarge patients with COVID-19 was associated with a decreased risk of readmission to the ED or hospital, and provided a scalable mechanism to monitor patients in their home environment.
