An evaluation of the impact of community-based interventions on hospital use

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
In recent years, the Department of Health has encouraged efforts to deliver more care in community settings, with the joint aims of avoiding unplanned admissions to hospital and reducing net costs. Interventions that prevent such admissions can, in theory, both improve the quality of care delivered and help address the financial challenges currently faced by the NHS. This research summary outlines the findings of an evaluation conducted by researchers at the Nuffield Trust that examined whether eight such interventions achieved a reduction in hospital use. The evaluation was conducted using a person-based, risk-adjusted approach. Nuffield Trust publications are available to download free of charge from www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/publications
