[Impact of CoCare, a Complex Model Intervention, on medical care in long-term care nursing homes in Germany: An overview of the outcome and process evaluation].

The CoCare intervention lowered the barriers for nursing homes to contact general practitioners, specifically in unclear situations. It can thus be seen as an effective tool to reduce potentially avoidable hospital admissions and costs. It is conceivable that results can be transferred to other regions in Germany and to similar care scenarios. It should be examined to what extent approaches of this new form of care can be transferred to standard care and whether adjustments to facilitate the implementation of coordinated care approaches across occupational groups in inpatient care facilities can be proposed within the framework of legislative procedures.
