Clinical Governance of Home Care and 30-Day Stability (CG-HOME-DSS4)

10 septembre 2026 mis à jour par: Azienda Sanitaria Locale BT

Clinical Governance of Home Care and 30-Day Home Stability: A Prospective Observational Study in the Health and Social Care District No. 4 of Barletta

This prospective observational study evaluates the organization, quality, and outcomes of home care provided by the Health and Social Care District No. 4 of Barletta, Azienda Sanitaria Locale BT, Italy. It includes patients receiving integrated home care, scheduled general practitioner home visits, or temporary home care during the study period.

The study will assess timeliness of care activation, care characteristics, and 30-day home stability. Home stability is defined as the absence of emergency department visits and unplanned hospital admissions within 30 days. The collected data will be used to identify organizational and clinical factors associated with outcomes and to support quality-improvement activities in community-based care.

Aperçu de l'étude

Description détaillée

This single-center prospective observational study is part of a clinical governance program for home care services in the Health and Social Care District No. 4 of Barletta, Azienda Sanitaria Locale BT, Italy. The study concerns three community-based care pathways: integrated home care (ADI), scheduled general practitioner home care (ADP), and temporary home care (ADT).

Eligible care episodes activated during the study period will be identified through routinely collected health service data. No experimental treatment or additional clinical procedure will be assigned by the study. Patients will continue to receive care according to standard clinical practice and their individualized care plans.

The primary outcome is home stability at 30 days, defined as the absence of emergency department visits and unplanned hospital admissions during the 30 days following activation of home care. Additional variables will include the type and intensity of home care, time from request to activation, emergency department visits without admission, unplanned hospital admissions, interruptions or reactivations of care, and selected organizational indicators.

Data will be obtained from the regional health information systems and the administrative and clinical information sources available to the participating district. The analysis will describe the study population, care processes, and 30-day outcomes and will explore differences across care pathways and levels of care complexity. Findings will support multidisciplinary audit and quality-improvement actions aimed at strengthening continuity, appropriateness, and safety of home-based care.
