Rapid Response Home Care as an Alternative to Acute Admission

This single-center, randomized, unblinded quality-improvement study evaluates whether a structured home-based rapid response team (RRT) intervention can safely reduce total hospital days among adults referred to the emergency department with suspected infection. Patients referred from general practitioners or the regional medical helpline (1813) between 09:00 and 22:00 are randomized 1:1 using Zelen's design to either standard in-hospital evaluation or a home-based assessment pathway delivered by a mobile clinical response team.
