Summary
This study tests a program called TAKE CARE, designed to prevent older adults (75+) from losing their ability to perform daily activities after a hospital stay. The program uses e-health tools, staff training, and environmental changes to address six common causes of hospital-related dependence. Researchers will compare outcomes in patients from 11 French hospitals who receive the program versus usual care.
