Summary

In order to prepare for the ageing population and its impact on the health care system, the National Institute for Sickness and Disability Insurance in Belgium (RIZIV) launched in 2010 a subsidy programme (called Protocol 3) for innovative projects aimed at care and support for vulnerable older people with complex care needs. The objective of these projects is to reduce the risk and need for admission to a care institution/residential care centre. These are alternative and supportive forms of care for the elderly for which there is currently no allowance, which enable vulnerable older people to be cared for at home, which have a positive influence on the evolution of the older person's state of health and which improve the quality of life, which do not entail higher costs than those of a classic admission and which are scientifically evaluated.

These Protocol 3 projects focus on vulnerable elderly people who are not admitted to a residential care centre, but who are at risk of a complex and/or long-term care situation. As a result of the complex care situation, there is also a great need for coordinated care between different care providers and/or there will also be supportive forms of care that ensure continuity of care. The expected added value of the care innovation projects should focus on: the importance of consultation and cooperation between the various stakeholders, the means to improve the competences of all relevant stakeholders, the means to organise customised care and the means to achieve continuity of care for the patient. The objective of the current study is to evaluate the phase 2 interventions, in particular: the adapted interventions case management and occupational therapy; and the newly introduced interventions in phase 3: health education, educational sessions for informal care providers and control visits at night.
