Perception of Utility and Efficacy of Implementation of <scp>TEC</scp>‐<scp>MED</scp> Model of Care for Frail Older People and Their Caregivers: A Qualitative Study
The TEC-MED model presents a promising approach to addressing the complex care needs of older people and their caregivers by fostering inclusivity, personalisation and integration across services. For nursing practice, this model emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and the role of nurses in facilitating the adoption of new care strategies. Implementing such models in everyday practice could improve the quality of care provided to older adults, enhancing communication between healthcare providers and ensuring that care is more aligned with the individual needs of patients. Furthermore, integrating digital platforms and targeted resources, as highlighted in the TEC-MED model, can aid in overcoming existing barriers in healthcare systems, improving the coordination of care at the community level.
