INTERACT - Reducing Avoidable Hospitalizations of Nursing Home Residents
Transfer to an acute care facility is essential for the health and well-being of many acutely ill nursing home residents. Many acute care transfers (ACT) are, however, potentially avoidable. Previous research demonstrates that many ACT could be avoided while safely treating the resident in the nursing home.
