Hospitalisations before and after entry into a residential aged care facility: An interrupted time series analysis

CONCLUSIONS: In this study, hospitalisation rates decreased significantly after RACF entry, and such reductions were maintained for residents who stayed for 12 months in RACFs. Multiple hospital admissions are likely to precipitate entry into RACF. Additional investigation of how community-based services can be successful in reducing the escalating hospitalisations is needed.PMID:37861132 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13249
