Addressing safety in integrated care programs for older people living at home: A systematic review
Programs addressed risks related to patient characteristics and behaviour, or health and social care management
Summary
The topic of patient safety, which is traditionally viewed as preventing harm stemming from healthcare treatment, has been extensively researched in hospital and institutional settings. Less attention has been given to addressing safety at home even though an increasing number of older people receive care and support at home, for example through integrated care programs. Care provided in the context of integrated programs for older people living at home differs from care in institutional settings in that it takes place in less controlled environments and often involves multiple health and social care providers as well as informal caregivers. Knowledge on safety in relation to integrated care is scarce. This review aims to provide insight into how safety is currently being addressed in integrated care programs for older people living at home
