- Abstract
- Transitional care interventions have been shown to assist frail older adults; however, their true efficacy remains inconclusive. This umbrella review aimed (1) to summarize the components of transitional care interventions in support of frail older adults discharged from hospitals to community-based facilities that may have impacted healthcare outcomes and (2) to synthesize the impacts of these interventions. Systematic reviews published between January 2018 and September 2022 were screened using seven electronic data-bases. The review protocol followed the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers' Manual and was registered in the PROSPERO. Nine relevant systematic reviews were assessed for their methodological quality. Four of the measured primary healthcare outcomes improved as a result of transitional care interventions. In particular, evidence indicates that high-intensity transitional care or transitional care lasting at least one month can improve healthcare outcomes in frail older adults. Additional funding research and practical guidelines are warranted.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
