The eligibility for a home hospital bed varies depending on the specific medical condition and the patient’s individual circumstances. For heart failure and community-acquired pneumonia, Santos-Eggimann (2001) found that while a significant proportion of patients were medically eligible, the acceptance of home hospital programs was low. Salazar (2009) demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of a home hospitalization unit for acutely ill patients, particularly those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic heart failure, and pneumonia. Júnior (2010) emphasized the need for specific equipment, such as a versatile hospital bed, to support home care. Pian (2020) proposed a new model of pediatric home hospital care, suggesting that certain acute illnesses, including pneumonia, could be managed at home with appropriate support. These studies collectively suggest that a home hospital bed may be suitable for patients with specific medical conditions, particularly those with chronic illnesses or acute exacerbations, and when there is adequate support and equipment available.
