Description

The "Optimizing Prevention of Hospital-Acquired Disability Through Integrated Multidomain Interventions (OPTIMAge-IT)" study will evaluate impact of a MDI multidisciplinary approach, enhanced by technological solutions, on the functional and cognitive status of older hospitalized patients at risk of disability or worsening frailty. Additionally, the study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of delivering MDIs remotely via technology after hospital discharge. Using a parallel cluster-randomized design, approximately 300 patients will be recruited from eight Acute Geriatric Units...
