Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The MidWest multidisciplinary Community Intervention Teams (MD-CIT) comprise of specialist, healthcare teams that provide a rapid and integrated response to a patient with an acute episode of illness who requires enhanced services/acute intervention for a defined short period of time in the MidWest of Ireland. This is provided in the patient's home, thereby facilitating early discharge from the acute hospital setting.

The investigators are performing an evaluation of the MDCIT service provided to older adults admitted to UL Hospitals Group. The investigators will assess patients in hospital, at 30 days and at a six months.

MDCIT Intervention

The MidWest Multidisciplinary Community Intervention Teams (MDCIT) comprise of specialist, healthcare teams that provide a rapid and integrated response to a patient with an acute episode of illness who requires enhanced services/acute intervention for a defined short period of time. This is provided in the patient's home after an acute hospital admission, thereby facilitating early discharge. The MDCIT intervention is composed of occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and healthcare assistants, with nursing support as required.

The MDCIT therapists aim to make their first visit to patients within 24-48 hours of hospital discharge. Patients receive two-three visits per week, over a period of two to four weeks dependant on the patient's rehabilitation needs. Upon discharge from the MDCIT service, patients can be referred to community services as indicated by therapists.
