Citation Totten AM, White-Chu EF, Wasson N, Morgan E, Kansagara D, Davis-O'Reilly C, Goodlin S. Home-based primary care interventions. Rockville: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Comparative Effectiveness Review No. 164. 2016 Authors' objectives To assess the available evidence about home-based primary care (HBPC) interventions for adults with serious or disabling chronic conditions. Authors' conclusions Current research evidence is generally positive, providing moderate-strength evidence that HBPC reduces use of inpatient care and providing low-strength evidence about its impact on use of other health services, costs, and patient and caregiver experience. Future research should focus on the content and organizational context of HBPC interventions so that experiences can be replicated or improved on by others. Additional research is also needed about which patients benefit most from HBPC and how HBPC can best be used in the continuum of care.
