Concept information
Preferred term
hospital at home
Definition
- Under the impact of cost saving initiatives (neoliberalism) patients are more and more discharged from hospital early, or now have day surgery, for conditions that in the past would have been treated in the hospital. This has pushed the burden of care back into the home and on to women. [Source: The Sage Dictionary of Health and Society; Hospital at Home]
