Mapping the organisational and interventional framework for patients admitted to Hospital-at-Home for acute illness in Scandinavia - a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT: Hospitals in Scandinavia increasingly face an enormous pressure to manage acute emergencies in adults affected by multimorbid disabling conditions and therefore at risk of developing adverse hospitalisation outcomes such as nosocomial diseases. In this context, there is a growing political interest in the region to develop alternative models of acute emergency care such as the Hospital-at-Home (HaH), all the more so as adult patients themselves are showing a pronounced interest in HaH. We are therefore planning a scoping review, following the methodology proposed by Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), to map the HaH components and interventions delivered to patients when managing acute emergencies in adults with that hospitalization model. We will search the databases MEDLINE, Embase and CENTRA
