Integrating health promotion with and for older people - eHealth (IHOPe) - evaluating remote integrated person-centred care : Protocol of a randomised controlled trial with effectiveness, health economic, and process evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Healthcare and welfare systems worldwide are unprepared to accommodate the growing population of older people. Simultaneously, the cost of reactive care for older people is increasing. However, healthcare systems in many countries are reforming towards integrated and person-centred care with a focus on health promotion and proactive actions. The Integrating Health Promotion with and for Older People - eHealth (IHOPe) project aims to describe and evaluate a person-centred e-support intervention that promotes a sustainable partnership between community-dwelling frail older people and health and social care professionals.

Methods

The IHOPe project is designed as a randomised controlled trial comparing a control group receiving standard care with an intervention group
