What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Skilled Nursing Facility at Home is a multicenter randomized control trial that aims to evaluate a home-based model of providing post-acute care (PAC). We will enroll 650 hospitalized patients who require rehabilitation and/or skilled-nursing support upon discharge and randomly assign them to an intervention (home-based PAC) or control arm (facility-based PAC).

We will perform 1:1 randomization between the intervention and control arm using a permuted block design, with stratification by clinical site and payor group. The primary outcome of the trial will be the difference in hospital readmission and mortality rates from the time of enrollment to 30 days after enrollment. Secondary clinical, functional, and cost outcomes include length of stay in PAC, difference in health-related
