Involving older people in intermediate care (original) (raw)

The paper addresses the role of intermediate care in supporting older people during their transition between various forms of healthcare—acute, primary, and social care. It emphasizes the importance of user involvement in intermediate care services, highlighting the need for nurses to incorporate older people's perspectives into care provisions. Through a literature review, the paper identifies existing gaps in user participation and advocates for a framework that empowers older individuals as active participants in shaping their care, thus fostering a more responsive and user-sensitive approach to health services.
