Abstract

Good physician-patient communication is key for effective hospital care. We describe a patient diagnosed with an acute pulmonary embolism and bacteremia who was treated in a virtual hybrid hospital-at-home program. Constant communication with the virtual and in-home healthcare teams enabled a unified knowledge of the patient's wishes.

Keywords: clinical decision–making; hospital‐at‐home; physician–patient communication; virtual hybrid.
