IntroductionAn acute hospital admission is a stressful life event for older people, particularly for those with cognitive impairment. The hospitalisation is often complicated by hospital-associated geriatric syndromes, including delirium and functional loss, leading to functional decline and nursing home admission. Hospital at Home care aims to avoid hospitalisation-associated adverse outcomes in older patients with cognitive impairment by providing hospital care in the patient’s own environment.Methods and analysisThis randomised, non-blinded feasibility trial aims to assess the feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial in terms of the recruitment, use and acceptability of Hospital at Home care for older patients with cognitive impairment. The quality of care will be evaluated and the advantages and disadvantages of the Hospital at Home care programme compared with usual hospital care. Eligible patients will be randomised either to Hospital at Home care in their own environment or usual hospital care. The intervention consists of hospital level care provided at patients’ homes, including visits from healthcare professionals, diagnostics (laboratory tests, blood cultures) and treatment. The control group will receive usual hospital care. Measurements will be conducted at baseline, during admission, at discharge and at 3 and 6 months after the baseline assessment.Ethics and disseminationInstitutional ethics approval has been granted. The findings will be disseminated through public lectures, professional and scientific conferences, as well as peer-reviewed journal articles. The study findings will contribute to knowledge on the implementation of Hospital at Home care for older patients with cognitive disorders. The results will be used to inform and support strategies to deliver eligible care to older patients with cognitive impairment.Trial registration numberNTR6581; Pre-results.

EinleitungPatienten in kritischen Gesundheitssituationen und solche mit therapeutisch-technischem Unterstützungsbedarf sollen auch in Deutschland vermehrt im häuslichen Umfeld versorgt werden. Die Voraussetzungen der als High-Tech Home Care (HTHC) oder Hospital-at-Home (H@H) international bekannten Versorgungsform und die mit dem Transfer der Medizintechnik von der Intensivstation ins Wohnzimmer verbundenen (un-)erwünschten Effekte – besonders für die Nutzer – erfahren aber noch selten die notwendige Aufmerksamkeit.
