This is a comprehensive database composed of 29 systematically organized and critically appraised so-called assessment tools. These different assessment tools were identified via prior systematic literature review, and cover various care settings, health conditions and so on. Of course, these assessment tools are appropriate for this project´s target population – older adults and their caregivers, and care professionals. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive database (website) of such kind. The website (i.e. deliverable) also introduces our new consensus-based definition that provides overall guiding principles on avoidability of care transitions. The new definition was developed on earlier work: a literature review and a Delphi study.
We believe our deliverable (website) has good chances for practical use, and that it will be useful not only for our initial target population, but also for researchers. This product (website) has a great potential for further enhancement (for example improving functionality of the product, adding more features, adding further assessment tools, and so on.). In light of this, this product is rather a “living project” and therefore we present here the version 1.0 of the product (website).
This website is now live and can now be accessed at: decision4transition.com
