Grant: Evidence on Tap - Expedited Knowledge Synthesis (EIHR)

This knowledge synthesis aims at integrating the knowdlege currently available in the scientific literature about afficient interventions that can facilitate the transitions of aged people in the health system. The scope of this synthesis is mostly in better understanding the policy, organisational and clinical interventions that can support the transition of aging individuals between different sectors such as primary care settings, hospital settings and long-term care institutions. This synthesis will review both the scientific literature as well as the grey literature published as part of evaluations of transitional care interventions in the Canadian context. An interface with decision and policy-makers will also be organised to integrate their experiential knowledge about efficient interventions and the elements of context necessary to consider in identifying useful interventions to improve the transitions lived by elderly people.
