Abstract

With ageing, the risk of frailty increases, becoming a common condition that exposes older people to an increased risk of multiple adverse health outcomes. In Valencia (Spain), the ValueCare project develops and applies a value-based care approach that addresses the multidimensional nature of frailty by implementing integrated and personalized care to tackle psychosocial frailty. A pre–post controlled design with a baseline measurement at inclusion, at the end of implementation and a follow-up measurement after 6 months of intervention. In Valencia (Spain), 120 participants over 65 years of age are recruited from primary care centres to receive the ValueCare comprehensive and personalised care plan according to the results and are compared with 120 participants receiving “usual care”. An assessment questionnaire is designed using validated instruments, and a personalised care plan is developed specifically for each participant based on the results obtained. The study protocol has been registered under the ISRCTN registration number ISRCTN25089186. Addressing frailty as a multidimensional and multifactorial risk condition requires the development and implementation of comprehensive assessments and care. In this context, this study will provide new insights into the feasibility and effectiveness of a value-based methodology for integrated care supported by ICT for older people experiencing frailty.
