AdvantAGE: Implementation and Evaluation of an Interprofessional Tranistional Care Model for Frail Older Adults

Sponsor: Thekla Brunkert

Summary

This clinical trial at the University Department of Geriatric Medicine FELIX Platter in Basel, Switzerland, is designed to evaluate a new transitional care model aimed at helping frail older adults after they get discharged from the hospital. The AdvantAGE study aims to explore the following questions: * Does the new care model help reduce the number of patients who need to return to the hospital within 90 days? * How effective is the implementation of this care model? Participants in the trial will be followed by advanced practice nurses for up to 90 days after hospital discharge. The patients and their caregivers will receive support in coordinating care, managing medications, and learning to manage the patient's health conditions on their own. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to engage in discussions about advanced care planning.
