Summary

This study explores whether people with decompensated cirrhosis can receive acute medical care in their own homes instead of a hospital. Participants use remote monitoring devices, lab services, and virtual check-ins from a care team. The goal is to understand patient expectations, barriers, and whether this approach improves recovery and reduces repeat hospital visits.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Hospital at Home program — home remote monitoring, lab services, and in-person/virtual care by a medical team
What this could lead to: If it works, this model could offer a safe, patient-preferred alternative to hospitalization for people with advanced liver disease.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study focused on feasibility and patient perspectives, not on proving clinical outcomes. Home care may not be suitable for all patients.
