For decades, acute medical care has been delivered in a hospital. However, among frail elderly patients, hospitalization often results in delirium, nosocomial infections, pressure sores, and falls.1 Appropriate home care has been shown to decrease hospitalization and nursing home use without compromising medical outcomes. In addition, providing traditional hospital-based care in the familiar surroundings of a patient's home might have the advantage of reducing the incidence of iatrogenic illness.2
