In a pragmatic multicenter primary care setting (n= 1600), the investigators use an evidence based prediction model to find elderly (75+) with high risk for complex medical care or hospitalization and apply a differentiated and directed medical and social care to this risk group, in comparison to usual care. The intervention will include all the latest evidence based tools in the care of elderly (multi-professional team, social support, medical care home-visits, telephone support, general practitioner visits, etc). The project has high potential impact on the development of future care of elderly.\n\nIn addition to the intervention study, several academic sub-studies focusing on patient's perspective, professional roles, equality, implementation and governance management of health care will be performed.", 'detailedDescription': 'The current project is a multidisciplinary research project covering several aspects of a shift in elderly care, with outcome measures not only related to primary medical or functional measures. The analyses will widen the view to overall societal costs and effects of changes in key institutions of social security as well as to hidden mechanisms in the governance system of care and health care of elderly.\n\nThe primary aim of the present study is to investigate the extent to which a differentiated (personalized) and targeted primary care intervention provided to a statistically predicted risk population of elderly, results in care that is more effective and of higher quality than that of a control group receiving standard care. In a pragmatic multicenter primary care setting (n= 1600), an evidence based prediction model to find elderly (75+) with high risk for complex medical care or hospitalization is used followed by a differentiated and directed medical and social care to this risk group, in comparison to usual care. The intervention will include all the latest evidence based tools in the care of elderly (multi-professional team, social support, medical care home-visits, telephone support, general practitioner visits, etc).\n\nThe investigators also aim to study the care model in a broader sense; experiences of the elderly, their social networks and diversity. Finally, the project will also investigate how the health care system, from specific health care professionals (primary care nurses, doctors, para-medical staff) to management levels and politicians influence the implementation of the present and future care models. One specific subproject focuses on the mechanisms behind the inability of steak holders/politicians and top administrative executives to find efficient governance principals for elderly care and health care, despite already available knowledge sources.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '110 Years', 'minimumAge': '75 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'People 75 years and older in the county of Östergötland with a high risk of being fragile and in need of hospital care.
