This study investigates the major complication rate in cancer patients potentially eligible for a hospital at home program for management of neutropenic fever. "Hospital at Home" is a home care program that provides acute, inpatient care in a patient's home in place of a traditional hospital stay. Learning more about the characteristics of potentially eligible patients, including reasons for inpatient admission, rates of major complications, and situations or treatments that would be difficult to deliver in an at home setting may help to inform future program development.
