Frailty recognition and response in the community
COMPLETE
Summary
It is estimated that more than a quarter of older adults are frail, making them more likely to have poor health outcomes. With an ageing population, itimely recognition of frailty followed by an evidence-based intervention can improve health outcomes.
We partnered with five health services to introduce an approach to frailty screening and management - recognising and providing timely intervention to patients presenting with frailty and pre-frailty.
