Summary

This study tested whether a transitional care program led by an advanced practice nurse could reduce 30-day hospital readmissions for elderly patients (75+) discharged from a geriatric ward. 630 participants were enrolled. The program focused on bridging the gap from hospital to home, but the study was observational in nature, aiming to gather knowledge rather than provide a direct treatment.
