Hospital at home provides equivalent results at lower cost for mild COPD exacerbations

Question clinique

Is it safe to treat mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder exacerbations at home?

L’Essentiel

Hospital at home models are increasingly used outside of the United States to reduce hospital admissions when equivalent care can be provided at home. The US system is currently not incentivized to provide this kind of care in many settings, but it is clearly a good option for patients with a chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) exacerbation to maintain health care quality and reduce cost. 1b-
