This study explored the effectiveness of a pro-active, integrated care model for community-dwelling frail older people compared to as usual by evaluating effects on comprehensive set outcomes: health outcomes (experienced health, mental and social functioning); functional abilities; quality life (general, health-related well-being). The design this was quasi-experimental. In study, 184 patients three GP practices that implemented Walcheren Integrated Care Model were with 193 five provided...

Frail elderly persons living at home are risk for mental, psychological, and physical deterioration. These problems often remain undetected. If care is given, it lacks the quality continuity required their multiple changing problems. The aim of this project to improve efficacy given frail independently by implementing evaluating a preventive integrated model elderly. design quasi-experimental. Effects will be measured conducting before after study with control group. experimental group...
Physicians are well-known for safeguarding medical professionalism by performing institutional work in their daily practices.
