Evaluating the need for hospital-level care at home for veterans
Hospital In Home: Evaluating Need and Readiness for Implementation (HENRI)
This study is looking into a program that lets veterans receive hospital-level care right at home, to see how well it works and what might help or hinder its use, all with the goal of making healthcare more accessible and effective for those who need it.

What this research studies
This research investigates the Hospital In Home (HIH) program, which provides acute-level hospital care in the comfort of patients' homes. It aims to assess the need for such programs and the readiness for their implementation, focusing on understanding barriers and facilitators to adoption. By gathering data on patient experiences and outcomes, the research seeks to improve access to care for veterans and enhance the effectiveness of home-based healthcare services. The study will also explore how HIH can be a viable alternative to traditional hospital admissions, especially in light of recent healthcare challenges.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are veterans who require acute-level care but may benefit from receiving treatment at home.
Not a fit: Patients who are not veterans or those who do not require acute-level care may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved access to high-quality healthcare for veterans, reducing the need for hospital stays.
How similar studies have performed: Previous implementations of similar home-based care models have shown positive outcomes in patient safety and satisfaction, indicating potential for success in this approach.
