Summary
This study evaluates the feasibility of providing hospital-level care at home for eligible patients through a Virtual Ward.

The primary aim is to determine if at least 30% of eligible patients can be safely and successfully transferred to the Virtual Ward under current Dutch healthcare conditions.
