About this study

Hospital-at-Home (H@H) programs provide hospital-level acute care in the patient's home and may reduce healthcare utilization while improving patient experience. Although H@H models have been evaluated in several acute medical populations, evidence regarding their safety and efficacy in a broad population of patients with acute cardiovascular conditions remains limited.

HeaRt@Home is a prospective, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of H@H compared with standard in-hospital care in clinically stable cardiac patients admitted to Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center. The study will enroll 150 adults hospitalized for selected cardiovascular conditions, including acute myocardial infarction following uncomplicated percutaneous coronary intervention, pericarditis or myocarditis, pulmonary embolism, post transcatheter valvular intervention, acute or worsening heart failure, or following Pacemaker or Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Implantation.

Eligible patients will be assessed within the first 12-24 hours following clinical intervention and randomized to either continued standard hospitalization or H@H care. Patients assigned to H@H will receive hospital-level care at home, including continuous remote monitoring of vital signs and cardiac rhythm, 24/7 access to the hospital monitoring center, at least one daily home visit by a nurse, and at least one daily virtual assessment by a cardiologist. Laboratory testing, imaging, oral and intravenous medications, oxygen therapy, and additional specialist consultations will be provided at home as clinically indicated. A predefined emergency pathway will enable rapid transfer back to the hospital when required.

The study will assess safety outcomes including all-cause mortality, hospital-acquired infections, hemodynamic deterioration, acute kidney injury, venous thromboembolism, medication errors, 30-day readmission, and 30-day mortality. Patient experience will be evaluated using the 15-item Picker Patient Experience Questionnaire. Secondary outcomes will include length of stay, healthcare resource utilization, mobility and physical activity, sleep, arrhythmias, need for escalation to hospital care, and psychological outcomes.

The study aims to determine whether a structured, technology-supported H@H model can provide safe and effective hospital-level care for appropriately selected cardiovascular patients while potentially improving patient experience and optimizing healthcare resource utilization.
