In the late 1990s, home-based hospital care began to be introduced in the United States as well as worldwide. This initiative appeared to lower prices, improve quality of care, and generally have a favorable impact on patients. In early March 2014, the director of performance improvement at a leading U.S. hospital was asked to develop a proposal, including a business case and an outline of a pilot program, for a variant of home based hospital care for the hospital's patients.
He knew that his proposition would need to take into consideration various factors for example place, the crucial data that needed to be collected, medical condition coverage, patient eligibility, the proper means of data collection, and the length that the pilot study would need to survive. He also knew that his proposal would have to contain proposed costs and the possible benefits of such a plan. The only prerequisite was that plan should make sense financially.
