Hospital in the Home project: Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
The Central Sydney Area Health Service has developed and piloted a Hospital in the Home program as an alternative to inpatient admission. Hospital in the Home offers the opportunity for increased productivity of existing hospital services, and advantages for patients in terms of satisfaction and improved or comparable clinical outcomes. Having developed treatment protocols and established a core Hospital in the Home team, a wider demonstration project across three hospitals within the Central Sydney Area Health Service is proposed.
Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney.
