About your past
Hospital at Home brings acute, hospital-level care into the patient's house. What do you think is hardest about practicing acute care without a unit around you?
What they are checking: Whether they understand the autonomy and isolation of home care before they commit to it.
Tell me about a time you had to make a clinical decision without someone right beside you to check it.
What they are checking: Independent judgment and knowing when to call for input rather than going it alone.
How do you work with the interdisciplinary team when you're the only one physically with the patient?
What they are checking: Clear, complete communication so the virtual physician and team can make good decisions.
What acute care experience do you have that you think carries over best to this role?
What they are checking: Whether their background gives them enough acute assessment skills to work safely in the home.
What would you do
You're in a patient's home and their oxygen saturation drops and they get short of breath. What do you do?
What they are checking: Knowing how to escalate quickly from a home, including calling the virtual team and emergency services.
How do you keep yourself safe going into a home you've never visited?
What they are checking: Personal safety judgment, including what to do if a home feels unsafe.
You have three or four patients, including admits and discharges, in a 12-hour shift. How would you plan your day and your driving?
What they are checking: Organization and time management across locations rather than within one unit.
How do you handle medication safety in a home where the patient also has their own pill bottles everywhere?
What they are checking: Medication reconciliation and preventing duplicate or missed doses in an uncontrolled setting.
How do you teach family members to help with care without putting too much on them?
What they are checking: Respectful teaching that matches what families can realistically do.
About the work
How confident are you with IV starts and phlebotomy, and what do you do when you can't get access?
What they are checking: Hands-on skill level, since in the home there is no IV team down the hall to help.
