Project

Prevention of unplanned readmissions in frail elderly: an integrated care trajectory for the emergency services and the first line

The aim is to investigate and develop a prototype of a new care model for elderly living at home (75+, regardless of the need for care) during and after admission to the emergency department of UZ Leuven and more specifically to reduce the number of unplanned readmissions in this target group. The project will apply this prototype of a care model for the first time in practice and collects the necessary data to make an initial validation.
