Secure and Focused Primary Care for Older pEople

The intervention includes a holistic comprehensive geriatric assessment using the PASTEL assessment tool that includes medical, psychiatric, functional and social aspects. Physical tests will include function, risk of falling, hand muscle strength, Timed up and Go (TUG), chair-stand test, blood pressure, saturation and BMI. A proactive person centered care plan will be established based on identified needs and the patients own priorities. A nurse will coordinate the care in the elderly team at the intervention practice with access to rehabilitation staff such as physiotherapist and occupational therapist. Follow-ups at the primary care practices will be carried out in accordance with the study plan. To strengthen care coordination, contact will be taken with other health care providers before the follow-ups.

The control group will receive care as usual at the matched control primary care centers
