Evaluating a Mobile Integrated Health Transitional Care Program to Reduce Readmissions: Findings From a Quasi‐Experimental Design
An in-home mobile integrated health (MIH) transitional care program for frail older adults after hospital discharge was associated with lower 30-day readmission rates. These findings highlight MIH as a promising model to support aging in place and suggest its potential value for adoption within age-friendly health systems.
