EPICENTRE – Delivery of high quality acute medical care without transfer to hospital

The NHS Five Year Forward View focuses on expansion and development of community services and out-of-hospital care. Hospital at Home is a concept that provides acute active treatment that would traditionally be provided in an inpatient setting, involving nursing staff and therapists. As well as being financially favourable, it is important to acknowledge that often, for a multitude of reasons, people prefer to remain at home rather than be admitted to hospital for treatment. The COVID-19 pandemic has further reiterated that patients are at risk of nosocomial infection. More importantly Hospital at Home care has consistently been associated with greater satisfaction compared to acute hospital care for both patients and their family members.
