Remote Physician Care for Home Hospital Patients

Home hospital care is hospital-level care at home for acutely ill patients. In multiple publications, home hospital care delivered cost-effective, high-quality, excellent experience care with similar quality and safety as traditional hospital care. Most home hospital models require a licensed independent practitioner to see their patients physically in their home. To further improve the efficiency and scalability of home hospital care, the investigators propose to test remote care, where the physician would provide care via a video interaction, instead of in-home/in-person care. The investigators propose a non-inferiority evaluation of this intervention.
