简要总结

The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to learn if adult patients with acute psychiatric conditions can receive hospital-level care at home. The main question it aims to answer is:

1. Estimate the eligibility rate for BHH among screened patients. What percentage of eligible patients agree to enroll in behavioral health home hospital (intervention)?

详细描述

Behavioral Health Home Hospital (BHH) aims to investigate the feasibility of providing acute psychiatric care at home for a highly selected lower-risk subset. Eligible patients will be admitted to behavioral health home hospital. Subjects include a highly selected lower-risk subset of patients (18 years of age or older) that require hospitalization for an acute psychiatric condition, caregivers (18 years of age or older) of the highly selected lower-risk subset of patients that require hospitalization of an acute psychiatric condition, and clinicians that provide care to intervention and control patients.

  • 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.

  • Patient does not have behaviors that would prevent them from being cared for at home:
  • Modified Agitation Severity Scale (MASS) score < 6
  • Does not have lack of insight or severe disorganization
  • Pittsburgh Agitation Scale score <
  • Consider excluding the patient for a score of 3 or
  • Patient diagnosis-specific inclusion criteria:
  • If patient has a diagnosis of psychosis:
  • They have NOT developed ideas/beliefs which are significantly detached from the shared beliefs of others
  • If patient has a diagnosis of BPSD, patient must:
