Effects of an interprofessional care concept in nursing homes evaluated in the SaarPHIR project: A cluster-randomized controlled trial
All-cause hospitalization was not significantly affected in the relatively short duration of the intervention. Nevertheless, secondary outcomes suggest some positive effects for the intervention group. However, participation in the intervention group was lower than expected at both the nursing home and resident levels, limiting the validity of the results.
