Summary

This study looks at whether adding a special care model (GRACE) to regular annual wellness visits can help older adults with complex health needs stay healthier and avoid hospital stays. Researchers will work with 110 participants aged 65 and older to see if this approach is practical and improves patient experiences. The goal is to gather information that could lead to better care for seniors.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) questionnaire and Geriatric Resources and Assessment for the Care of Elders (GRACE) model
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a practical way to improve care and reduce hospital stays for older adults with complex health needs.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention may not show clear benefits or be too difficult to implement in other clinics.
