Summary

Background : The transitional care OMAGE-P combines three best practices recommendations from the French National Authority for Health (HAS) (i) a comprehensive review of diagnosis and treatments (ii) a standardized medical report and (iii)a patient education program specifically designed for older people with multiple chronic conditions and polypharmacy. This transitional care is implemented in a pilot general hospital with the support of French ministry of Health and Regional Agency for Health of Ile de France . The aim of the study is to assess the impact of the OMAGE P transitional care on the readmissions of non demented older people aged 75 years and over within the 3 months following their discharge to home and its cost-effectiveness .

Study Population: non demented people aged 75 years and over admitted in emergency (ie via an emergency department ) in the participating units

Study design:

Observational prospective monocentric non randomized comparative study Exposed patients: eligible patients admitted in participating units and who does not oppose to the collection of his personal data. The hospital physician in charge will conduct the comprehensive review of diagnosis and treatments and will do the standardized medical report. Patient education program will be conduct by the hospital physician and the OMAGE nurse during the hospitalization (two sequences) and during 2 to 4 home visits in the month following patient 's discharge from hospital.

Non exposed patients: eligible patients from the usual care arm of the RCT OMAGE. To ensure that risk for emergency readmissions is not different between exposed and non exposed , the rate of emergency readmissions of non exposed group will be compared with the one of eligible patient admitted in the participating units in 2013 and 2014.

Setting: General hospital of Eaubonne : geriatric department (acute geriatric unit, rehabilitation unit , geriatric mobile unit ) and internal medicine department Number of subjects to be included: 484 (242 in each arm). The data for the 242 non exposed patients are still available, 242 patients has to be included in the exposed group
