Backgroundintegrated Rehabilitation and EnAblement Program (iREAP) is an innovative redesign of the traditional day rehabilitation model, providing an anticipatory, early assessment and intervention program that manages care of community-dwelling older people with complex needs. It coordinates access to disciplines across medical, allied health and nursing, with a self-management focus, partnering with primary health in an integrated approach.ObjectiveThis observational study reviews the effectiveness of iREAP on frailty, patient activation, quality of life and physical outcome measures on older people at risk of, or experiencing falls and frailty, or with neurodegenerative conditions, including Parkinson's Disease.Methods99 participants completed the eight-week multidisciplinary program. Patient outcome measures included Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale, quality of life measures, Patient Activation Measure, Timed Up and Go, 6 Minute Walk Test and Berg Balance Scale.ResultsOn completion of iREAP, participants displayed improvements in their Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scores (mildly frail to vulnerable), 'patient activation' (55.08 to 60.61), quality of life (Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39, 49.93 to 47.16; WHO Quality of Life - Bref physical domain, 21 to 22.7) and physical measures including balance (44 to 49/56 Berg Balance scale) and mobility (294 m to 336 m, 6-minute walk test). Falls were not reduced at twelve months post-program (3.40 to 2.01).ConclusioniREAP is an interdisciplinary, early assessment and intervention program with the potential to reverse frailty and improve quality of life for complex older patients. This paper offers a platform for future research, given the paucity of evidence reviewing the efficacy of integrated anticipatory models of care in older adults with complex needs.
