A randomized controlled trial, published in JAMA Network Open and led by Ariadne Labs, showed that Rural Home Hospital programs can deliver acute care at an equal or lower cost compared to brick-and-mortar hospitals, while providing a better patient experience.
Members of our Home Hospital program authored a perspective in Pediatrics to discuss the emerging need for pediatric acute hospital care at home in the context of policy, economic, and clinical factors.
