The Behavioral Health Home Hospital (BHH) team at Ariadne Labs is pioneering a pilot randomized controlled trial aimed at evaluating the acceptability and feasibility of delivering acute psychiatric care in a home setting. Traditionally, home hospital programs have excluded patients with active psychiatric conditions; this trial will explore the potential for providing safe and high-quality psychiatric care through the BHH model. The BHH program will include twice-daily in-person nursing visits and remote consultations with a BHH Research Psychiatrist and Psychologist, supplemented by additional clinical team members providing care either in person or virtually. Patients will be required to have a caregiver present, with support available from home health aides and mental health specialists. Medication management will be overseen by our clinical team, featuring 24/7 monitoring, and patients will have access to group therapy sessions remotely. The BHH Research Psychiatrist will play a pivotal role in delivering inpatient-level psychological treatment and facilitating research activities, including the consent process for study participants.
