Temporary nursing‑home accommodation for older people leaving hospital in Île‑de‑France

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 is a prospective, observational, multicenter RIPH3 study comparing discharge pathways that use temporary nursing‑home accommodation versus usual care across several sites in the Île‑de‑France region. Temporary accommodation beds are grouped in nursing homes with dedicated staff and were expanded by the Regional Health Agency to meet short‑term needs for older people who cannot immediately return home. The study collects medical and social care data, length of hospital stay, and whether patients ultimately return home using non‑interventional record review and questionnaires involving patients, informal caregivers, and staff. The project is supported by ARS‑IDF and aims to describe real‑world outcomes of the HTSH circuit across participating centers.
