In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Functional decline after hospitalization is a serious concern for older Veterans, often leading to loss of independence and disability. VA's nurse-led Coordinated Transitional Care (CTraC) program has demonstrated success in improving care transitions, but currently lacks targeted assessment and intervention to support Veterans' functional recovery. This project aims to develop and test a function-focused CTraC protocol (CTraC-FIT) to address this critical gap and optimize functional outcomes for Veterans transitioning from hospital to home. By integrating evidence-based functional assessment and intervention strategies into the CTraC protocol, this project aims to empower Veterans to regain and maintain their independence and improve their quality of life.
