Overview

Retrospective cohort study tracks hospitalization rates and community living duration for homebound older adults, suggesting benefits of interprofessional care.

Key Points

  • Reduced emergency department visits and fewer hospitalizations were anticipated outcomes for the homebound older adults receiving care.
  • The study compares care outcomes of patients in the House Calls program to similar frail homebound adults during a defined period.
  • A retrospective cohort study design was utilized to assess care impacts on hospitalization and elder community involvement.
  • This research may inform the potential spread of integrated home-based care models to enhance community support for older adults.
