Association between a mobile team intervention in Swedish municipal home care and the effect on emergency department visits and hospitalizations among older adults

The mobile team intervention in MHC did not significantly reduce ED visits or hospitalizations among elderly MHC recipients, suggesting that physician-led interventions alone may be insufficient to lower acute care utilization in this population. This highlights the complexity of care needs among frail older adults and suggests that a more comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach may be required to achieve meaningful reductions in emergency care use.

Abstract

The mobile team intervention in MHC did not significantly reduce ED visits or hospitalizations among elderly MHC recipients, suggesting that physician-led interventions alone may be insufficient to lower acute care utilization in this population. This highlights the complexity of care needs among frail older adults and suggests that a more comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach may be required to achieve meaningful reductions in emergency care use.
