Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to study the effects of nursing home visits in independently living elderly people on their functional performance and health-related quality of life The general practitioner GP can refer elderly people to this intervention model after identification of a problem in cognition mood behavior mobility or nutrition A specialist geriatric nurse visits the patients at home up to six times and coaches the patient in cooperation with the GP and geriatrician
Detailed Description:
General practitioners GPs in the Western world have to anticipate the increasing age and health care demands of their patients A considerable proportion of those older patients have reduced functional status and quality of life which may affect their feelings of autonomy and ability to live independently Even with considerable disability most patients prefer to stay at home Because of their complex clinical presentations and needs these patients require a special approach to their evaluation and care
Intermediate care is a possible answer to these changing demands although the efficacy of these programs is a subject of vivid debate
With the Dutch Geriatric Intermediate Care Programme DGIP we developed an Intermediate Care model to study efficacy aspects of problem based intermediate care DGIP is an intermediate care program in which the GP refers elderly patients with a problem in cognition mood behavior mobility and nutrition A geriatric specialist nurse applies a guideline based intervention in a maximum of six visits during a maximum of three months The nurse starts the intervention with the application of the EASYcare instrument for geriatric screening The EASYcare instrument assesses instrumental activities of daily life cognition mood and includes a goal setting item During the intervention the nurse regularly consults the referring GP and a geriatrician
Objectives
To determine the effects of the Dutch EASYcare Study Geriatric Intermediate care Programme compared to regular medical care in improving health related quality of life in independently living elderly persons and their informal caregivers who contact the GP with one of a variety of geriatric problems
To determine the costs of the Dutch EASYcare Study Geriatric Intermediate care Programme
