Summary

This study tests a nurse-led program called COORDINATE for older adults (50+) with two or more chronic conditions who are leaving intermediate care units. The program includes discharge planning, symptom tracking, and follow-up calls over 3 months. Researchers will compare it to enhanced usual care to see if it improves quality of life and reduces emergency visits or readmissions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: COORDINATE Program (nurse-led care coordination and symptom management)
What this could lead to: If it works, this program could improve quality of life and reduce emergency visits for older adults with multiple chronic conditions.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program may not show clear benefits over usual care.
