Professional care at home: Patient-centredness, interprofessionality and effectivity? A scoping review.
Health & Social Care in the Community 2019 March 7
The aim of this scoping review was to describe the state of knowledge on professional care at home with regard to different perspectives on patient-centredness, content of care, interprofessional collaboration, competence framework and effectivity. A scoping review, n = 35 papers, from four databases (EBSCO, CINAHL, Medline, Swemed) were reviewed between May and August 2018 using the terms: hospital-at-home, hospital-in-the-home, advanced home healthcare, hospital-based home care or patient-centered medical home. Criteria for inclusion in this review included full text papers, published between 2001 and 2018, in English, Swedish or Finnish. A descriptive content analysis was conducted. Patient-centredness appears to be one aim of professional care at home, but clarity is lacking regarding patient recruitment and the planning and evaluation of care. Content depends, to a certain degree, on the type of care at home and how it is organised: the more non-acute care needs, the more nurse-coordinated care and family involvement and the less interprofessionality. The competence framework presupposed for care at home was extensive yet not explicit, varying from maturity, clinical experience, collaboration skills, ongoing clinical assessment education to Master's studies or degree. The effectivity of care at home services was discussed in terms of experiential, clinical and economic aspects. Patients and their family caregivers were satisfied with care at home, but there was no consensus on clinical or economic outcomes compared with inpatient care. In the context of professional care at home, there is still a lot to do regarding patient-centredness, patient recruitment, patient and care staff education, the organisation of interprofessional collaboration and the analysis of effectivity.
