First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

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.
