  • Discussion of the cultural and practical implications of shifting acute care to the home.

    • Main Results:

    • The home is increasingly becoming a site for high-technology hospital care.
    • This trend introduces hospital-based medical technology into domestic environments.
    • A tension exists between the technological demands of acute care and the concept of home as a sanctuary.

    Conclusions:

    • The hospital/community interface necessitates a re-evaluation of healthcare delivery models.
    • Integrating acute care into the home environment raises questions about patient experience and the nature of 'home'.
    • Further research is needed to understand the long-term impact of this healthcare paradigm shift.
