AbstractHouse calls play a limited but important role in modern family practice. Family physicians make an average of two to six home visits a week for various reasons, including acute illness, terminal care, death pronouncement and hospital follow-up. The rationale for house calls includes enhancing the doctor/patient relationship, providing medical therapy, evaluating and reinforcing the patient's support system, and making an ecologic or family assessment.
