Three-month Follow-up Analysis of Social Recommendations Issued by the Mobile Geriatric Team

UMG-CHUSE Study: Three-month Follow-up Analysis of Social Recommendations Issued by the Mobile Geriatric Team.

This single-center, prospective, observational cohort study aims to evaluate the actual implementation rate of social recommendations formulated by the Mobile Geriatric Team at Saint-Étienne University Hospital three months after hospital discharge. These recommendations may include human assistance, technical aids, financial aid applications, legal protective measures, or referrals to appropriate care structures.

A structured telephone interview at three months will assess the degree of implementation, explore associated barriers (administrative, cognitive, organizational, ...), and investigate any potential link with hospital readmissions or changes in patients' living situations.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients aged 75 years or older
• Patients assessed by the Mobile Geriatric Team of the Saint-Etienne University Hospital with the formulation of social recommendations
• Patients residing at home or in a long-term care facility for dependent elderly individuals (nursing home / EHPAD)
• Informed consent obtained from the patient or their legal representative

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients under 75 years old
• Refusal to participate in the study by the patient (or by the legally authorized representative/trusted person).
• Patients receiving exclusive palliative care
• Inability to ensure follow-up: in case of non-response at three months or in the event of death
