【 摘 要 】

Frailty is increasingly recognised as a public health priority due to the associated demand for acute and longer term health and social care support, and the impact on the lives of individuals, caregivers and families. Integrated care is widely considered to be most effective when applied to an older population, but there is limited data on outcomes and costs from studies of integrated care to prevent and manage frailty. This paper describes work by the ADVANTAGE Joint Action (JA), co-funded by the European Union and 22 Member States, to develop a common European approach to the prevention and management of frailty. The authors reflect on the emerging evidence and experience of implementing integrated care for frailty, and invite readers to participate in ongoing dialogue on this topic through the ADVANTAGE JA website and IFIC Academy activities.
