Abstract

The PACED intervention evaluated paramedic-delivered home visits within 72h of hospital discharge for frail older adults. Of 297 subjects, 190 received the intervention. Thirty-day rehospitalization was lower among PACED participants (12.6% vs. 21.5%, adjusted RR 0.45, p=0.003), and they experienced fewer 30-day ED visits (11.5% vs. 18.7%, adjusted RR 0.58, p=0.05). An in-home mobile integrated health transitional care program was associated with lower 30-day readmission rates.
