Effect of a Community-based Nursing Intervention on Mortality in Chronically Ill Older Adults
Status unconfirmed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Heart Failure, Coronary Disease, Diabetes Mellitus, Asthma, Hypertension, Hypercholesterolemia
In brief
Care coordination, disease management, geriatric care management, and preventive programs for chronically ill older adults vary in design and their impact on long-term health outcomes is not well established. This study investigates whether a community-based nursing intervention improves longevity and impact on cardiovascular risk factors in this population. The results reflect the impact of one of the study sites (Health Quality Partners) selected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to participate in the Medicare Coordinated Care Demonstration, a national demonstration designed to identify promising models of care coordination for chronically ill older adults. The study began in April 2002.
