Goal planning in person-centred care supports older adults receiving case management to attain their health-related goals.

Conclusions: Older adults are able to attain health-related goals through collaborative goal planning. We recommend future integrated care programmes for older adults to incorporate goal-planning methods to achieve person-centred care. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Older adults experiencing frailty or complex care needs and receiving individual support within an integrated care setting are able to formulate and attain goals using goal planning with severity scores. Goal plans of community-living older adults mostly aim at improving health-related problems concerning physical health, mobility, or support. Goals related to physical health are the most likely to be attained, while goals for mobility and pain are the least likely to be attained. PMID: 31589075 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
