ClinConnect Summary

The Reforça't trial is studying a special program designed to help older patients (aged 65 and over) with heart and lung problems after they leave the hospital. The goal is to see if this program can help reduce the number of patients who need to return to the hospital within 30 days and improve their overall health and quality of life. The program offers a mix of medical care, social support, and rehabilitation services tailored to each patient's needs, compared to regular hospital care.

To participate, you need to have been admitted to the hospital for heart or lung issues and live within a certain area. You also need to be willing to join the study by signing a consent form. If you enroll, you will receive a thorough assessment before and after the program, and your health will be monitored for a year to track any hospital readmissions, how well you're doing, and your overall well-being. This program aims to provide better support to help you manage your condition and stay healthy after your hospital stay.
