Feasibility of micro-costing for hospital-at-home in Danish municipalities: a prospective pilot study
Detailed resource-use measurement using provider logs was feasible in a municipal HaH model and produced an activity and time dataset suitable for tariff development. Findings are context-specific and not generalisable due to the small sample. The micro-costing log refined through the pilot will be applied in an RCT, where time and activity data will be used to construct a tariff using time-driven activity-based costing.
