Abstract

The report contains the description of the INTERCARE study ("Improving INTERprofessional CARE for better resident outcomes"), funded by the SNSF National Research Program 74 "Smarter Health Care" and which lasted 4 year (2017-2020). This implementation science project developed a nurse-led care model in 11 nursing homes in the German-speaking part of Switzerland and was evaluated for its clinical effectiveness with the main outcome being unplanned hospitalizations. Nurse-led care models offer comprehensive care for older people with chronic conditions by means of targeted skill mix, the potential to strengthen geriatric expertise in place and add attractiveness to the nursing profession in the long-term care sector.
