Clinical Trial Summary

Previous studies supporting discharged patients are hospital-based which admission criteria tend to include mainly those with complex needs and/or specific disease conditions. This study captured the service gap where these non-frail older patients might have no specific medical problem upon discharge but they might encounter residual health and social issues when returning home.


Clinical Trial Description

Objective: To compare the effect of a community-based health-social partnership program with usual care for discharged community-dwelling non-frail older adults on their health‐related quality of life, activities of daily living, depressive symptoms, and use of health services.

Design: A randomized controlled trial. Participants: Discharged community-dwelling non-frail older adults from an emergency medical ward in an intervention (n=37) and a control (n=38) group.

Interventions: Discharged older adults were randomized to receive usual care or complex interventions, including structured assessment, health education, goal empowerment, and care coordination supported by a health-social team.

Main measures: The outcomes were measured at pre-intervention (T1) and at three months post-intervention (T2) using the Medical Outcomes Study 12-item Short Form, the Modified Barthel Index and the Geriatric Depression Scale. ;
