Study on Temporary Nursing Home Accommodation for Elderly Patients After Hospital Stay in Ile-de-France Region Evaluating Medical and Social Care and Return Home Plans

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the impact of a temporary accommodation program called HTSH on elderly patients length of stay in hospital services. This observational, multicenter study involves elderly patients discharged from hospitals in the Ile-de-France region who require short-term accommodation in nursing homes or long-term care units. The study aims to assess how this program supports medical and social care and influences decisions about returning home after hospitalization. The study includes a prospective group of 258 subjects and a retrospective group using data from 2021 and 2022. Temporary accommodation beds are provided in dedicated units with specialized staff, physically grouped within establishments supported by the Regional Health Agency. The study compares hospital stay lengths before and after the programs implementation to evaluate its efficiency. Participants will be observed over 24 months with data collected on hospital stay length, patient pathways, profiles, discharge outcomes, quality of life, and caregiver benefits. Medical records and social evaluations are reviewed, and caregivers and professionals involved in the HTSH circuit may also participate. This non-interventional study monitors outcomes without changing usual care, with no specified maximum age and no healthy volunteers included.
