COORDINATE Program for Multimorbidity
This study is testing a new program called COORDINATE to help older adults (age 50 and above) who have two or more long-term health conditions (multimorbidity) and are leaving the hospital's Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU). The COORDINATE Program is led by nurses and aims to support you during your transition home. Researchers want to see if this program can improve your quality of life and reduce emergency visits or rehospitalizations. You would either receive the COORDINATE Program or enhanced usual care, which includes standard discharge instructions and extra educational materials. The study will measure changes in your quality of life over 3 and 12 months.
- Study design
- This is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: the COORDINATE Program or enhanced usual care. About 10 participants will be enrolled.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive either the COORDINATE Program or enhanced usual care over a 3-month period. Follow-up assessments will occur at 3 and 12 months after leaving the hospital.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 12 months after discharge from the hospital to assess their quality of life.

What this trial measures
- Change from Baseline in Health-related Quality of Life as Measured by the EuroQoL at 3 monthsBaseline and 3 months post-discharge
Health-related quality of life will be assessed using the EuroQoL, a widely used questionnaire that helps measure a person's overall health and quality of life. It asks about five key areas: 1) Mobility, 2) Self-care, 3) Usual daily activities, 4) Pain or discomfort, and 5) Anxiety or depression. It also includes a rating scale (0 to 100) where people mark their overall health, 0 means the worst health you can imagine, and 100 means the best.
