This paper provides a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying implementation strategies for integrated care. As part SELFIE project, 17 care programmes addressing multi-morbidity from eight European countries were selected and studied. Data was extracted 'thick descriptions' analysed both inductively deductively using theory. The following ten successful identified. With regards to service delivery, implementers (1) commonly adopted an incremental growth model rather than...

Abstract Background Many advantages of hospital at home (HaH), as a modality acute care, have been highlighted, but controversies exist regarding the cost-benefit trade-offs. The objective is to assess health outcomes and analytical costs avoidance (HaH-HA) in consolidated service with over ten years delivery HaH Barcelona (Spain). Methods A retrospective cost-consequence analysis all first episodes HaH-HA, directly admitted from emergency room (ER) 2017–2018, was carried out system...

Applicability of comprehensive assessment integrated care services in real world settings is an unmet need. To this end, a Triple Aim evaluation Hospital at Home (HaH), as use case, was done. As ancillary aim, we explored the approach for monitoring impact adoption health system level Catalonia (Spain).Prospective cohort study over one year period, 2017-2018, comparing hospital avoidance (HaH-HA) with conventional hospitalization (UC) using propensity score matching. Participants were after...

Abstract We report 8 cases of persistent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia in patients previously treated with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. Polymerase chain reaction nasopharyngeal swabs for SARS-CoV-2 was negative most cases; viral cell cultures confirmed that viable SARS-Co-2 virus present. Four were anti-SARS-CoV-2 hyperimmune globulins rapid resolution disease.

Background Home-based noninvasive ventilation has proven cost-effective. But, adherence to therapy still constitutes a common clinical problem. We hypothesized that behavioral intervention supported by mobile health (mHealth) app could enhance patient self-efficacy. It is widely accepted mHealth-supported services can productive interactions among the stakeholders involved in home-based respiratory therapies. Objective This study aimed measure changes self-efficacy patients with chronic...

Peripheral oxygenation level (SpO2) can provide vital information on body functions. Continuous monitoring facilitates effective diagnosis and treatment even be lifesaving. Clinical device monitor SpO2 using a clip, measure light transmission through the tissue. This method limits locations of clip's placement is sensitive to movement, which hampers continuous during wakefulness or sleep, thus decreasing its usability in clinics accessibility homecare usage.
