Objective:
The objective of this review is to assess the effectiveness of programs that offer individualized, multifactorial support to community-dwelling older people with ongoing health and social care needs and to report how these programs affect quality of life and health system outcomes.
Introduction:
As people age, they often have multiple chronic conditions and functional impairment, and as a result, they need support to live well. Nursing homes and other residential facilities provide care for people with such needs; however, they can be expensive and older people generally prefer to remain at home, in their community. There is growing interest in programs that offer individualized, multifactorial support in the community for people with complex health and social care needs.
Inclusion Criteria:
This review will focus on the effectiveness of programs that offer individualized, multifactorial support in the community for people over the age of 60 who are identified as having ongoing health and social care needs. The review will assess quality of life and health system outcomes, such as hospital admission.
Methods:
This review will be conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology for systematic reviews of effectiveness. Ten databases will be searched for published and unpublished studies. Titles, abstracts, and full-text studies will be screened by 2 or more independent reviewers and assessed for methodological validity using the standard JBI critical assessment tools. Relevant data will be extracted using the JBI data extraction tools. The data will then be synthesized and reported using measures of evidence certainty.
