Implemention Plan

Aims:

The aims of this Work Package are the following:

  1. To optimise existing evidence-based protocols that can be implemented in UHC2.0 (frailty, integrated care pathways, polypharmacy, prevention of falls)

  2. To integrate the interventions (frailty, integrated care pathways, polypharmacy, prevention of falls) in the UHC2.0, and adapt the generic template to each of 5 EU cities

  3. To involve stakeholders and disseminate outcomes and protocols for innovative UHCs2.0 to be applied in European cities (partly together with the Dissemination Work Package)

​

Description of the Work Package:

​

In Work Package 5, existing information in the 5 pilot cities on current protocols related to integrated care provision by multidisciplinary teams of health and social care professionals, prevention of falls, prevention of polypharmacy/adherence to medication and frailty prevention are collected in a stepwise approach and in cooperation with deployment site leaders. Activities of Work Package 4 running in parallel (focus group interviews with various target groups, scientific and grey literature research, interviews with politicians) and continuous discussions with pilot site leaders also help in the optimization of protocols and integration of the 5 unique UHCE templates. All UHCE partners work to reach the aims of this Work Package and especially health and social care professionals at pilot cities. Full integration is achieved when execution plans are prepared at all pilot cities.

 

During the lifetime of Work Package 5, the results of the qualitative analysis of focus group interviews are to be disseminated in scientific conferences hence informing the public and the academic community about the preferences/needs of elderly people in the 5 pilot sites.

 

Finally, during the lifetime of Work Package 5, Medical Ethical Documents are to be approved by appropriate Medical – Ethical Committees at all pilot cities.

 

Desired Results:

 

The main results of this Work Package are 2: 

  1. The Medical Ethical Approvals at pilot sites and

  2. The execution plans are developed at all pilot sites, consisting of locally adapted care pathways for the prevention of falls, management of polypharmacy – adherence to medication, early detection of frailty focusing on social loneliness, planning of interventions for elderly citizens, monitoring of interventions and process evaluation.
