The Impact of Domiciliary Versus 'Hub' Based Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment on Clinical and Process Outcomes Among Older Adults Attending Community Specialist Teams: a Randomised Controlled Trial.

The investigators plan to implement a randomised controlled trial to examine the impact of domiciliary (home based) versus 'hub-based' Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) on clinical and process outcomes among older adults referred to a community specialist team for older persons in the Mid-West region of Ireland. The population of interest is older adults who are discharged directly from the Emergency Department or referred urgently from their General Practitioner. The outcomes of interest focus on those that matter most to older adults as well as clinical and process measures of care.
