Hospital in the Home, otherwise known as HITH, is the delivery of high-quality medical care and treatment by health care professionals within the patient’s home, as an alternative for being in hospital. Patients who are eligible for HITH are still treated as inpatients and remain under the care of their hospital doctor. Nurses deliver daily treatments to patients and in some cases visit up to twice a day.
Studies have shown HITH increases patient and carer satisfaction, with no change to carer burden.
As a provider to HITH, Baxter is privileged to contribute to the day-to-day provision of HITH services and many patient journeys.
