Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of Divomed in organising complex hospital discharges with a conventional organisation. Effectiveness will be assessed by reducing the length of stay of patients in geriatric short-stay care.
Detailed description
This is an interventional, randomised (ratio 1:1), single-centre, open-label study evaluating Divomed, a digital tool combined with human coordination, to speed up the discharge of people aged over 75 from unscheduled short-stay geriatric hospital admissions to their homes. The study population will be patients aged 75 or over, admitted for short term unscheduled geriatric hospitalisation and eligible for discharge home.
