Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a transitional care intervention on readmissions among older medical patients.

The proportion of older people is rapidly growing. These changes represent a challenge for healthcare systems. 20% of all hospital admitted patients ≥ 65 years are readmitted within the first 30 days after discharge. Prior transitional care research has mainly focused on either hospital-based or community-based interventions with no or little intervention elements in both settings. The results show different effects on readmission rates. This calls for new research on trans-sectorial interventions with both pre- and post-discharge elements.
