Description
Michal Laron and co-authors compare views of hospital care at home in Israel in this 2024 paper. Hospital at Home gives acute hospital level care in a patient home instead of a ward. The model grew during the COVID-19 pandemic but stayed limited in Israel. The work draws on surveys made for the 2022 Dead Sea Health Policy Conference.
One survey covered 342 physicians and the other covered 424 members of the public aged 35 and older. Physicians rated home care more highly than the public did. More doctors than lay respondents judged its quality, safety, and communication as good as hospital care. The gap helps explain slow uptake.
