Study Overview

Brief Summary

The study aims to explore feasibility of implementing a tailored CGA to older adults with frailty and evaluate staff and patients perception of the intervention. In line with this, the objectives of the study are:

  1. To assess applicability of finding older adults with frailty using eFI and delivering subsequent CGA and care planning at patients' home
  2. To investigate staff and older adults' perception of CGA programme
  3. To assess the health care resource usage and cost of the CGA programme
  4. To measure key health related outcome domains including function, quality of life, loneliness, pain, falls and mobility.
