Cost drivers and feasibility of a hospital-at-home programme for geriatric care in northeastern Mexico: a retrospective observational study
This study highlights that the main factors influencing the HAH programme's costs include medical care and procedure-related disorders, as well as medication extensively used in the elderly population. Additionally, we demonstrated the cost-effectiveness of the HAH programme, which produces substantial savings and is a financially viable alternative to traditional hospital care.
