“…In the community setting, there are unique challenges in understanding and accurately measuring acuity and dependency, this is mainly due to the complexity introduced by the environment and varied patient populations requiring community healthcare (David and Saunders, 2018). Previous studies have attempted to predict hospital readmission using validated tools, but these are not routinely used (Armitage et al, 2021, Lee et al, 2016. A Some patients are eligible for management in their own homes rather than having to go to hospital.…”

The provision of acute healthcare within patients own home (i.e. hospital in the home) is an important method of providing individualised patient-centred care that reduces the need for acute hospital admissions and enables early hospital discharge for appropriate patient groups. The Hospital in the Home (HitH) model of care ensures that this approach maximises patient safety and limits potential risk for patients. As HitH services have seen record numbers of patient referrals in the past 2 years, there is now a greater need to measure and understand the acuity and dependency levels of the caseload. Through an expert clinician development process at one NHS trust, aspects of procedural complexity, interdisciplinary working, risk stratification and comorbidities were used to quantify acuity and dependency. This paper uses a case study approach to present a new method of measuring this important concept.
