Home-based Acute Care for Older Persons Initiated by the Emergency Medical and Ambulance Services - a Retrospective Observation of Effects on Healthcare Utilisation and Mortality
This observational study aims to examine outcomes of home-based acute care delivered by a mobile healthcare team in persons aged 75 years and older following an episode of acute illness. The study will assess whether home-based acute care initiated by the emergency medical dispatch centre or ambulance services is non-inferior to emergency department care with regard to care needs and mortality.
