Abstract

Traditional healthcare delivery models face mounting pressure from rising costs, increasing demand, and a growing environmental footprint. Hospital at Home (HaH) has been proposed as a potential solution, offering care at home through in-person, virtual, or hybrid approaches. Despite focus on expanding HaH provision and capacity, research has primarily explored patient care outcomes, patient satisfaction economic costs with a key gap in its environmental impact. By reducing this evidence gap, HaH may be better placed as a positive enabler in delivering healthier planet and population. This article explores the environmental opportunities and challenges associated with HaH compared to traditional hospital care and reinforces the case for further research to comprehensively quantify the environmental impact including any co-benefits. Our aim for this article is to spark conversation, and begin to help prioritise future research and analysis.

居家医院如何实现更环保、更健康的未来?
传统的医疗保健服务模式面临着成本上升、需求增加以及环境足迹不断扩大等越来越大的压力。家庭医院(HaH)作为一种潜在的解决方案已被提出,通过面对面、虚拟或混合方式提供家庭护理。尽管研究重点是扩大 "在家医院 "的提供范围和能力,但研究主要集中在患者护理效果、患者满意度、经济成本等方面,而在环境影响方面还存在很大差距。通过缩小这一证据差距,HaH 可以更好地发挥积极作用,为地球和人类带来更健康的生活。与传统医院护理相比,本文探讨了与 HaH 相关的环境机遇和挑战,并强调了进一步开展研究以全面量化环境影响(包括任何共同效益)的必要性。我们撰写这篇文章的目的在于引发讨论,并开始帮助确定未来研究和分析的优先次序。
