Our new research highlights important insights from care home residents, families, and healthcare providers on reducing unnecessary hospital transfers. Key recommendations include:
- Enhancing staff training and awareness raising to support decision-making
- Expanding access to experienced primary care teams
- Improving communication of care plans between settings
- Advancing personalized, sensitive care planning processes
This stakeholder-driven initiative will guide future research to transform care delivery and ensure residents only go to the hospital when absolutely needed.
