What this research studies
From a Veteran's perspective, the project looks at existing VA Hospital In Home programs to learn how they were started, what helps them work well, and what barriers stop them from growing. Researchers will gather information from VA sites that already run these programs using staff interviews, program records, and local readiness measures to understand need and readiness. They will compare different program models and create practical guidance to help more VA centers adopt home-based hospital care. The team will consider potential effects on hospital stays, costs, and infection risk such as during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are Veterans who need acute-level care but are stable enough to be treated at home and live within the service area of a participating VA Hospital In Home program.
Not a fit: Patients who require intensive care, are medically unstable, or live outside participating VA service areas would likely not benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, more Veterans could get safe, hospital-level care at home, reducing inpatient stays, lowering costs, and decreasing exposure to infections.
How similar studies have performed: Hospital At Home programs have shown safety, high patient satisfaction, and cost savings, and the VA already sustains multiple HIH sites, though wider implementation is still being refined.
