NCT ID NCT07166653
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an online education program for hospital staff can increase the use of hospital-at-home (HaH) services, where patients receive hospital-level care at home. Researchers will compare 14 hospitals in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden that receive the training against those that continue usual care. The main goal is to see if the training leads to more eligible patients being treated at home, with secondary measures including staff knowledge, motivation, and patient outcomes like readmission and mortality.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- online education program (NorDigHE HaH education)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that online training helps hospitals shift more care to patients' homes, reducing hospital stays and improving efficiency.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 14 hospitals, so results may not apply broadly. The education may not change staff behavior or patient outcomes as hoped.
