Summary
This study tests a digital tool called the Digital Bridge, which connects hospital and primary care communication systems to improve care transitions for older adults with multiple chronic conditions. Researchers will enroll 640 patients aged 60 and older from two hospital systems in Toronto and Mississauga. The goal is to see if better communication between providers, patients, and caregivers can improve transition quality and reduce readmissions.
