研究概览
简要总结
We will perform a parallel-group multicenter patient-level randomized controlled evaluation of skilled nursing facility care at home. Patients typically referred to a skilled nursing facility following hospitalization will be eligible for enrollment. Instead of admission to a skilled nursing facility, participants will receive care from a technology-enabled team in their own homes or will be allocated to receive care in a traditional skilled nursing facility setting.

研究组 & 干预措施
Usual skilled nursing facility care
Control subjects will receive care at a skilled nursing facility as per usual.
Rehab at home
Intervention subjects will receive care in their home from a specialized care team.
干预措施: Skilled nursing facility care at home (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in activities of daily living between admission to rehab and discharge from rehab
时间窗: Admission to rehab until discharge from rehab, no more than 6 months
Subtract the patient's activities of daily living at discharge from rehab from the patient's activities of daily living on admission to rehab.
次要结局
- Percent time supine per day(Admission to rehab until discharge from rehab, no more than 6 months)
- Total direct medical expenditure(Admission to rehab until discharge from rehab, no more than 6 months)
- Patient experience with care(Admission to rehab until discharge from rehab, no more than 6 months)
- 30-day readmission or 30-day mortality(Discharge from rehab until 30-days later, no more than 30-days)
