The purpose of this study was to compare health outcomes for patients receiving acute care in their homes through a Hospital at Home (HaH) program inpatients the traditional hospital setting.We compared HaH Virtua Health 2022 (N = 271) during same year 13,776) with diagnoses. We defined as recommendations subacute rehabilitation (SAR) upon discharge recommendation indicates need additional therapy based on physician's assessment patient. Specifically, we searched notes electronic medical records terms related SAR using text mining algorithms and natural language processing (NLP) model confirm these recommendations. then proportion within each group that had recommendation, controlled differences sample size, age, diagnosis bootstrapping analyses.We observed were recommended (0.148) significantly different from who remained setting (0.363), reduced patients. obtained qualitatively similar results when size diagnosis. Controlling age yielded an older control population, difference between groups widened.The suggests programs are promising alternative model. Future work may consider how vary diagnoses, clinical histories demographics, which inform operate moving forward.
