The InterACT (Intervention for Appropriate Care and Treatment) study: working with clinical teams in hospitals to trial a feedback loop approach to promoting appropriate care and treatment for elderly patients at the end-of-life.

Full description

This study will work with clinical teams in three acute hospitals to trial a feedback loop approach to promoting appropriate care and treatment for elderly patients at the end-of-life. The feedback loop is intended to provide a ‘flag’ to increase clinician awareness of the risk profile of their patients, and to prompt a tailored care review activity.
It is expected that the use of this feedback intervention will improve care outcomes for elderly patients, specifically to increase appropriate care and treatment pathways and reduce the incidence of non-beneficial treatments. the study will report the impact on patients, and the costs and implementation issues of the feedback loop activity.
