The Hospital de Barcelona moves forward towards innovation with hospital admission

The Hospital de Barcelona had taken a significant step in the evolution of medical care with the launch of its new home hospitalisation service (HDOM) and the start up of the Medical Outpatient Care Hospital (HMED), which have both been up and running since the beginning of last November.

HDOM seeks to provide active treatment for patients in the comfort of their own homes, looking after conditions which, in other circumstances, would require more intensive hospital treatments and care. This initiative is designed for the care of acute processes or early discharges, both medical and surgical, aimed at improving patient quality of life and that of their family and social surroundings.

It is a care modality that allows an experienced team to provide active medical care for patients in their own homes for a specific period of time. 

On the other hand, the services provided by HMED, located on the building’s fourth floor, range from administration of medicines to the performance of programmed complementary tests or other procedures in terms of the diagnosis or pathology. 

In addition, its rooms are designed with similar characteristics to conventional hospital rooms, ensuring that the patient’s comfort and privacy are maintained.

With the launch of HDOM and HMED, the Hospital de Barcelona is reaffirming its commitment to innovation and continuous improvement in medical care, providing more flexible solutions, centred on the patient. As shown by similar experiences that are already in existence, these services will change the paradigm of conventional hospital admission and improve patient experience during their recovery process.
