- To outline and discuss care transitions and care continuity following hospital discharge of older people with complex care needs in three Nordic cities: Copenhagen, Tampere and Stockholm. Methods: Data on potential pathways following hospital discharge of older people were obtained from existing literature and expert consultations. The pathways for each system were outlined and presented in three figures. The hospital discharge process of the systems was then compared. Results: In all three care systems, the main care path from hospital is to home. Short-term intermediate healthcare can be provided in all three systems, possibly creating additional care transitions; however, once home, extensive home healthcare may prevent further care transitions. Opportunities for continuity of care include needs assessments (all cities) and meetings with the patient about care upon return home (Copenhagen, Stockholm). Yet this is challenged by lack of transfer of information (Tampere) and patients’ having to apply for some services themselves (Tampere, Stockholm). Conclusions: Comparisons of the discharge processes studied suggest that despite individual care planning and short- and long-term care options, transitional care and care continuity are challenged by limited access as some services need to be applied for by the older person themselves.

- Background: Coordination, cooperation and efficient use of resources is vital for the health- and social care sector if it is to meet the needs of an aging population. Integrated care is a patient-centred approach to provision of care aiming to improve quality of care and overcome fragmented care through co-productive partnerships and may positively affect quality of care and health outcomes, especially among those in need of highly coordinated care services.Aim: To compare patient-reported outcomes (PROs) among patients undergoing total hip replacement (THR) in the integrated care system in Norrtälje Municipality and in the standard care system in other municipalities in Region Stockholm, Sweden.Methods: Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register PRO data during 2008–2015 were compared 1 year after THR among patients (≥50 years) in integrated care (n = 407) and standard care (n = 3501) systems using linear (EQ VAS score), logistic (EQ-5D-3L dimensions) and negative binomial (hip pain VAS score) regressions. Analyses were adjusted for the preoperative factors age, sex, BMI, ASA class and type of incision.Results: 1-year postoperatively, patients in the integrated care system did not report their health significantly different from patients receiving standard care. Exceptions: Female patients in integrated care reported less problems with self-care (OR:0.52; 0.29–0.96) and patients above 70 years reported more problems with mobility (OR: 1.37; 1.01–1.87).Conclusion: No significant differences were found between the two care systems for postoperative PROs. A longer follow-up time and analyses by socioeconomic groups would be valuable.
