What this trial studies
The Get-HEALTH-I initiative is a prospective interventional program aimed at assessing the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of a geriatric telemanagement model for elderly patients with multiple health issues who have recently been discharged from hospitals to nursing homes. This model seeks to integrate geriatric specialists with nursing home staff and general practitioners to enhance patient care. The study will evaluate various outcomes, including hospitalization rates, geriatric syndromes, medication management, and overall satisfaction with the intervention in selected nursing homes in the Marche Region of Italy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve health outcomes and reduce hospital readmissions for elderly nursing home residents.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with telemanagement approaches for elderly patients, indicating potential for success in this novel application.
