The Danish healthcare system is currently undergoing a transformation towards increased use of virtual healthcare services. In this review, we propose a structured risk-stratified model to delineate the differences between homecare, homemonitoring, and hospital-at-home, while discussing their current status and addressing barriers hindering the widespread adoption and scaling of home-based care incl. technological limitations, regulatory complexities, and cultural considerations. We advocate for establishing a national central support function to expedite the shift towards home-based care.

Background: Among cardiovascular diseases, adult patients with congenital heart disease represent a population that has been continuously increasing, which is mainly due to improvement of the pathophysiological framing, including the development of surgical and reanimation techniques. However, approximately 20% of these patients will require surgery in adulthood and 40% of these cases will necessitate reintervention for residual defects or sequelae of childhood surgery. In this field, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in the postsurgical phase has an important impact on the patient by improving psychophysical and clinical recovery in reducing fatigue and dyspnea to ultimately increase survival.
