Summary
This pilot study tested a care system designed to prevent older adults (70+) from losing independence while in the hospital. One hospital unit used the new system, where staff were trained to prevent iatrogenic dependency, while another unit provided routine care. The study enrolled 85 patients and measured changes in their ability to perform daily activities from admission to discharge.
