This medical dissertation by Magnus Nord explores a proactive primary care model for older adults at high risk of hospital admission. It addresses the growing demographic of elderly individuals and their healthcare needs due to frailty. The research involves a pragmatic controlled trial in Sweden, utilizing a predictive model to identify high-risk patients and implementing comprehensive geriatric assessments (CGA) in primary care settings. The study demonstrates that this approach can reduce hospital care days and healthcare costs while maintaining patient quality of life. The introduction of the PASTEL assessment tool is highlighted as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals. The intended audience includes healthcare providers and policymakers focused on geriatric care and healthcare system improvements.
