Mobile emergency department care to nursing home residents: a novel outreach service.

Background: Every month, 6% of Danish nursing home residents are admitted to hospital. However, these admissions might have limited benefits and are associated with an increased risk of complications. We initiated a new mobile service comprising consultants performing emergency care in nursing homes.

Healthcare professionals' experience with emergency department-based acute care performed within nursing homes.

Background: hospital admissions of residents from nursing homes often lead to delirium, infections, mortality and reduced functional capacity. We initiated a new service, 'emergency department-based acute care service', maintained by consultants from an emergency department (ED) moving emergency care from the hospitals into nursing homes.

Objective: this study explored healthcare professionals' experiences with this service.

Municipal acute care teams as a flexible solution for the treatment of acutely ill patients at-home: a mixed-method study of patients' and caregivers' experiences with an acute care team.

Objective: Development of initiatives to reduce hospitalisations is a major focus of healthcare planning. Strengthening the community with municipal acute care teams or units is a newly implemented Danish initiative aimed at preventing hospitalisations and supporting more flexible services. This study aims to describe patients treated by a municipal acute care team and to explore patients' and caregivers' experiences with at-home treatment.

Healthcare professionals' experiences with highly qualified nurses working in acute care teams in primary healthcare settings.

Objective: Strengthening primary healthcare with highly qualified nurses in acute care units or teams is a new Danish initiative intended to detect acute diseases and the deterioration of chronic diseases and to develop treatment for outpatients. This study explores healthcare professionals' experiences with this initiative.

Design: Qualitative semi-structured interviews conducted in 2019-2020.
