Acute postoperative and rehabilitation care managed in a virtual hybrid hospital‐at‐home after a total knee arthroplasty: A case report

Abstract

Key Clinical Messages This case report demonstrates a virtual hybrid hospital‐at‐home program can provide inpatient‐level postoperative and rehabilitative care after total knee arthroplasty to a medically complex patient in the comfort of their own home. Abstract Advanced Care at Home combines virtual providers with in‐home care delivery. We report a case of virtual postoperative and rehabilitative care in a medically complex patient who underwent a total knee arthroplasty. This new model of care delivery allows effective patient‐provider communication and meets patient needs in the postoperative period.
