Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The project combines quantitative and qualitative analyses :

1\. Quantitative study

Study of comparative prospective cohort clustered in two parallel groups:

Group 'Telemedicine': establishments providing care for the dependent elderly (EHPAD in french) equipped for telemedicine (teleconsultation, casualty) as part of the regional project of the Aquitaine Regional Agency of Heath telemedicine device deployment.

Control group: Defined and equipped for telemedicine EHPAD after matching on the number of residents, the GMP (average weighted GIR : "Groupes Iso Ressources" = score to reflects the average level of dependency of residents of a residential care facility for the elderly), the PMP (weighted average PATHOS = an evaluation system set up by the National Union of Clinical Gerontology and the Medical Service of the National Fund for Health Insurance for Salaried Workers), the distance to a hospital with an emergency shelter service.

The rate of unscheduled hospitalizations will be collected during follow-up visits in clinical departments of the healthcare of the Gironde (french department) by a research staff.

2 Qualitative study In the Group of nursing homes with telemedicine, said group "Telemedicine", will be identified four long-term care facilities, selected according to their degree of use of telemedicine (ratio number of teleconsultation per month / number of beds) (EHPAD 2 strong users, 2 nursing homes) low users) within these four long-term care facilities will be carried out observations of field and in-depth interviews with professionals, managers and attending physicians.
