A atencao domiciliar a saude e um modelo em processo de expansao por todo o Brasil e desponta como um novo espaco de trabalho para os profissionais de saude, tanto no âmbito publico quanto no privado. Abrange quatro diferentes modalidades que foram selecionadas para estudo: atencao domiciliar, atendimento domiciliar, internacao domiciliar e visita domiciliar. Cada uma dessas modalidades possui finalidades, objetivos e atividades especificas, o que torna necessaria sua explicitacao. Dessa forma, realizou-se esta revisao de literatura com o objetivo de identificar a bibliografia existente acerca dos termos utilizados para designar as modalidades. Considera-se necessario que os profissionais de saude conhecam estas modalidades, pois provavelmente deparar-se-ao com elas, mesmo que nao estejam atuando diretamente na atencao domiciliar a saude. Reputa-se ainda que esse conhecimento seja importante para que a assistencia prestada se de de maneira mais adequada e correta, considerando as especificidades inerentes.
