Safety and Cost-Effectiveness of Hospital at Home in Patients with COVID-19

The HaH program for COVID-19 patients offered a safe alternative to traditional hospitalization, with similar clinical outcomes and significant reductions in inpatient costs. The shorter iLOS suggests potential benefits in hospital resource management during surge periods, while the longer tLOS highlights the need for optimized patient selection and care strategies in the home setting. Further research is warranted to explore the long-term economic implications and patient outcomes of HaH programs, particularly during heightened demand, on healthcare systems.
