Virtual Health Care in Hospital-at-Home Models for Patients With Acute Infections
Given the imbalance between high care demand and strained hospital capacity, hospital-at-home (HaH) models offer a potential solution by providing hospital-level care in patients’ homes. This scoping review maps the literature on hospital-led virtual health care within HaH models for acute infections, focusing on intervention characteristics and evaluation designs. Following Johanna Briggs Institute guidelines and PRISMA-ScR, we included studies on virtual and hybrid HaH models using telemedicine for remote monitoring and interventions.
