Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has led the health system to make adjustments and changes in order to face the healthcare emergency, and to consider other healthcare modalities such as hospitalization at home (HaH). During the first wave of the pandemic in 2020, the HAH multidisciplinary and cross-sectional team of the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona managed at home COVID-19 patients as well as non-COVID-19 patients, and was also in charge of managing a medicalized hotel.
We present the case of a patient admitted to HaH with diagnoses of acute prostatitis and COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemics, who was managed in both settings.
This case report is an example of the importance of continuity of care. The HaH team, experienced and trained on conducting home visits, has adapted to the new pandemic situation, providing quality care for patients.
