About this study
Official title: Nordic Digital Health Education as an Implementation Tool for Hospital-at-home - Protocol for a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
To enhance implementation of Hospital-at-home (HaH) in Scandinavia, the Nordic Digital Health \& Education (NorDigHE) project has developed a comprehensive virtual education on HaH for clinical staff. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether an online education for clinical staff can enhance the implementation of HaH services in hospitals across Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
The primary outcome of the RCT is HaH implementation measured at organization level, understood as a change in clinical practice by increased HaH activity. Secondary outcomes are HaH knowledge and motivation among clinical staff as well as patient days in hospital, days hospitalized at home, 30-day readmission, and mortality.

Researchers will compare hospitals receiving the NorDigHE education (intervention group) to hospitals continuing treatment as usual (control group) to see if the education leads to greater adoption of HaH and changes in service delivery.
Participants will:
- Complete baseline, 3-month, and 6-month surveys assessing HaH activity, staff knowledge, and motivation.
- Participate in a 12-month follow-up assessment (intervention group only).
- Be invited (patients, staff, and management) to take part in semi-structured interviews to share experiences and preferences related to HaH.
- (For staff in the intervention group) Complete the NorDigHE virtual education program embedded in the WHO Fast-IM.
After the study, the control group will be offered access to the NorDigHE education as a participant retention measure.
Read the detailed description
Background: In response to increasing pressures on healthcare systems due to aging populations, and increasing shortages of clinical staff, increased use of digital service designs has been recommended by most governments in Scandinavian and European countries. Virtually supported Hospital-at-Home (HaH) models, delivering acute hospital services in-home have been shown to be both feasible and beneficial. Nevertheless, implementation and scaling barriers are major challenges. To enhance implementation of HaH in Scandinavia, the Nordic Digital Health \& Education (NorDigHE) project has developed a compre-hensive virtual education on HaH for clinical staff. The present study aims to evaluate the implementation impact of the NorDigHE education embedded in the WHO Fast-track Implementation Model (WHO Fast-IM).
Methods and analysis: We use a randomized design and nested qualitative studies to meet the aim. Via open-call, hospitals will be recruited in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden and randomized to either receive the education embedded in the WHO Fast-IM or to continue treatment as usual. The primary outcome of the RCT is HaH implementation measured at organization level, understood as a change in clinical practice by increased HaH activity. Secondary outcomes are HaH knowledge and motivation among clinical staff as well as patient days in hospital, days hospitalized at home, 30-day readmission, and mortality. Data are collected at baseline, after 3, and 6 months. A 12-month maintenance measurement is performed in the intervention group. Post-study, the control group is offered the NorDigHE education as a participant re-tention measure. In addition, the attitudes, experiences, and preferences of HaH among patients, clinical staff, and management are collected via nested semi-structured interviews.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
HaH educationBehavioural
Also called NorDigHE education
The intervention consists of the online NorDigHE HaH education with tailored implementation tools em-bedded in the WHO Fast-IM. The education is delivered online and asynchronously, combining e-learning, simulations, reflection exercises, and practical task training.
The trial has adopted the evidence-based WHO Fast-track Implementation Model (WHO Fast-IM) as a framework to support the effectiveness and reporting of the implementation, and the tailored implementation tools embedded in the model will be provided as part of the intervention to support in-tegration into daily clinical routines. The tailored toolbox consists of workshops, introductory meetings, written guides, and access to a hotline staffed by project specialists to facilitate implementation.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention group | Experimental | The intervention group receives the NorDigHE HaH education embedded in the WHO Fast-IM. Receives: Behavioral: HaH education |
| Control group | No intervention | The control group continues treatment as usual over a 6-month period. To enhance participant retention, the control group will be offered the education after study completion and as a quality initiative. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
HaH implementation
The primary outcome, HaH implementation at the organizational level, is defined as a change in clinical practice, measured by the proportion of eligible patients who receive HaH.
Measured: From enrollment until 6 months follow-up measurement
Secondary outcomes (5)
Staff's motivation
Staff's motivation to work with HaH. Staff HaH motivation is measured by Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) Scale questionnaires. Participants will be presented with a series of statements and asked to indicate how true each statement is for them on a 7-point scale, where 1 represents 'not true at all' and 7 represents 'very true'.
Measured: From enrollment until 6 months follow-up
Staff's knowledge
Staff members' knowledge on HaH. Staff's knowledge is collected as pre- and post-education questionnaires at baseline and at 6 months follow-up. The knowledge questionnaires have been developed prior to the study and has undergone pilot-validation with healthcare students, clinical staff, and education sector experts as part of the NorDigHE project.
Measured: From enrollment until 6 months follow-up
Days hospitalized at home
Length of stay while hospitalized at home versus in the hospital. Measured using registry data for patients admitted to the department during trial.
Measured: From enrollment until 6 months follow-up
30-day readmission
The percentage of patients that readmit to the hospital within 30 days with the same illness they were previously discharged. Measured using registry data for patients admitted to the department during the trial.
Measured: From enrollment until 6 months follow-up
Mortality
Tthe number of deaths in participating hospitals (and their departments) during the trial (death rate)
Measured: From enrollment until 6 months follow-up

To enhance implementation of Hospital-at-home (HaH) in Scandinavia, the Nordic Digital Health \& Education (NorDigHE) project has developed a comprehensive virtual education on HaH for clinical staff. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether an online education for clinical staff can enhance the implementation of HaH services in hospitals across Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
The primary outcome of the RCT is HaH implementation measured at organization level, understood as a change in clinical practice by increased HaH activity. Secondary outcomes are HaH knowledge and motivation among clinical staff as well as patient days in hospital, days hospitalized at home, 30-day readmission, and mortality.
Researchers will compare hospitals receiving the NorDigHE education (intervention group) to hospitals continuing treatment as usual (control group) to see if the education leads to greater adoption of HaH and changes in service delivery.
Participants will:
- Complete baseline, 3-month, and 6-month surveys assessing HaH activity, staff knowledge, and motivation.
