摘要：

The development of new management solutions is needed to generate great changes in the health sector, especially in addressing the current collision course between growing health care demands, rising costs, and limited resources. One of these solutions is the hospital at home (HAH). This article aims to explore the existing literature, regarding possible health gains and economical outcomes in HAH programs versus traditional inpatient hospitalization. A search of literature was conducted to identify papers regarding HAH programs and their respective health and economical outcomes. The concept of HAH encompasses different levels or care schemes. Several examinations and treatments can be carried out at home. Hospital at home may optimize patient flow and relieve pressure on hospital bed availability. However, questions are raised regarding the uncertainty of the efficacy of HAH and the limited evidence on which model setting is most appropriate.
