    HAH significantly reduced length of stay by 3.13 days compared to inpatient controls, resulting in net savings of £3.79 million over 33 months.

  • 3

    30-day readmission rates were lower in HAH cohorts (OR 0.55), indicating improved patient outcomes compared to matched inpatient controls.

  • 4

    The analysis included 2,972 HAH episodes, with 1,488 matched to inpatient controls, making it one of the largest studies of HAH globally.

  • 5

    Findings support wider implementation of HAH services, demonstrating safety, reduced readmissions, and potential mortality benefits.
