Overview

A population-based evaluation shows CAPABLE improves outcomes in older adults, suggesting cost-saving implications for healthcare systems.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the health and cost outcomes associated with CAPABLE, an intervention designed for older adults.
  • Evaluated participants using a difference-in-difference approach.
  • Compared health and cost outcomes for 205 participants and non-participants.
  • Measured avoidable hospitalizations, readmissions, functional improvements, and depression scores.
  • CAPABLE participants had significantly lower avoidable charges (p = 0.02).
  • Fewer avoidable hospital stays and readmissions were observed among participants, though not statistically significant.
  • Participants achieved significant improvements in functional outcomes and reduced depression scores.
