Health Outcomes from Home Hospitalization: Multisource Predictive Modeling.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Home hospitalization is widely accepted as a cost-effective alternative to conventional hospitalization for selected patients. A recent analysis of the home hospitalization and early discharge (HH/ED) program at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona over a 10-year period demonstrated high levels of acceptance by patients and professionals, as well as health value-based generation at the provider and health-system levels. However, health risk assessment was identified as an unmet need with the potential to enhance clinical decision making.

Objective

The objective of this study is to generate and assess predictive models of mortality and in-hospital admission at entry and at HH/ED discharge.

Methods

Predictive modeling of mortality and in-hospital admission was done i
