General patient inclusion criteria:
≥18 years old
Resides or will reside during hospital care within a 10-mile geographic area surrounding BWFH or BWH.
Patients must be able to be safely managed at home with the in-home clinical coverage and monitoring provided by the BHH program, as determined by the BHH MD. If the BHH MD determines that caregiver support is required for safe participation, the patient must have a caregiver who is able to provide the required level of support to be eligible for enrollment. The level of caregiver support will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the patient's clinical team and BHH MD based on the patient's clinical presentation, safety needs, and functional status (see section 6.1 for details)
To participate in the study, the patient must agree to the level of in-home support and monitoring determined by the study doctor and clinical team. This could include the possibility of asking the patient to agree to be in the same home with their caregiver 24/7 during their entire hospitalization.
