Abstract

The aim of the work is to describe the protocol adopted by the Home Care Service in pediatric onco-hematological patients of a large cancer institute in Italy during COVID-19 pandemic and to present preliminary data. Based on our experience, we have developed strategies to ensure continuity of care, non-abandonment, and protection of patients and operators in a period of emergency like this. In this context, the "COVID at home" protocol plays a central role. It aims to be able to safely manage COVID-19 positive onco-hematological patients, allowing nursing and medical care in the home setting, identifying patients at risk for COVID-19 infection, and rationalizing improper accesses to the hospital.
