简要总结
The MidWest multidisciplinary Community Intervention Teams (MD-CIT) comprise of specialist, healthcare teams that provide a rapid and integrated response to a patient with an acute episode of illness who requires enhanced services/acute intervention for a defined short period of time in the MidWest of Ireland. This is provided in the patient's home, thereby facilitating early discharge from the acute hospital setting.
The investigators are performing an evaluation of the MDCIT service provided to older adults admitted to UL Hospitals Group. The investigators will assess patients in hospital, at 30 days and at a six months.
