Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the feasibility of implementing a specialized care system aimed at preventing iatrogenic dependency in patients aged 70 and older during hospitalization. Two care units are involved: one follows routine care practices while the other utilizes the new prevention-focused care system, with caregivers receiving specific training on preventing dependency. The study compares the outcomes of patients in both units to assess the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing dependency levels.
