Summary

This trial tests whether nursing home residents who become acutely ill can be safely assessed and treated at home by municipal acute care teams, with remote consultation from a senior hospital physician, instead of being sent to the hospital. Participating nursing homes are randomly assigned to either this new home-based pathway or usual care, which involves calling a regional medical helpline. The study compares hospital admission rates and mortality between the two groups to see if home-based care is a safe alternative.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Home-based clinical assessment and treatment by municipal acute care teams, with remote senior physician consultation
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could reduce hospital admissions and allow more nursing home residents to be treated safely in familiar surroundings during acute illness.
What could go wrong
The trial is a quality-improvement study, not a drug trial, and results may vary by setting. There is a risk that home-based care might not be as safe as hospital admission for some residents.
