Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
OUTCOME MEASURES The primary endpoint is the number of readmissions during the year after admission. An economic evaluation and quality of life analysis is part of the proposal. The feasibility of the project is increased as the software is already up and running, the 3 hospital locations form a closed area and the research group has a multidisciplinary character including patients. Based on the calculations we expect to save between ¤26.5 and ¤32.7 M when this intervention is implemented Nationwide.	—
