title: Children's hospital at home.
abstract: Rugby Children's Hospital at Home is an innovative community-based service for acutely ill children (Box 1). It enables children to be cared for at home during their illness by offering a plan of care in partnership with the child's parents. The child is visited as frequently as needed to ensure his or her safety and according to the child's condition (Samwell, 2000).
