Summary

This study tests whether a thorough health assessment by a team of nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists can improve quality of life for people aged 65 and older who are applying for home care services. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the standard process or the Interprofessional Health Needs Assessment (INHA), which screens for mobility, thinking, mood, nutrition, vision, hearing, and social support. The main goal is to see if the INHA leads to better health-related quality of life after 12 months.

What this could mean

What this could lead to
If effective, this assessment could help older adults maintain a better quality of life and reduce unnecessary healthcare use.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial testing a non-drug intervention, so results may not be widely applicable or show clear benefits.
