About The Study: In this retrospective comparative effectiveness research study of Medicare beneficiaries, hospital at home was associated with lower in-hospital mortality and emergency department use within 30 days of discharge, but not hospital readmissions within 30 days, compared with traditional inpatient care. These findings support hospital at home as an approach that may maintain similar or better short-term outcomes among appropriately selected patients; future studies should evaluate implementation and equity.
