Interventions
|
ZWIP is a complex intervention, intended to facilitate both patient's self-management and collaboration between professionals. ZWIP is a healthcare social-media network for multi-disciplinary communication for frail older people, their caregivers and professionals. The system registers patient goals and action plans which are associated with the goals in consultation with the patients. A main feature of the ZWIP is that patients are central in the system, patients and their caregivers decide which professionals join their network. Professionals can exchange messages with the patients and each other using ZWIP.
In the control group, frail elderly receive standard care.
