Three-month Follow-up Analysis of Social Recommendations Issued by the Mobile Geriatric Team

This single-center, prospective, observational cohort study aims to evaluate the actual implementation rate of social recommendations formulated by the Mobile Geriatric Team at Saint-Étienne University Hospital three months after hospital discharge. These recommendations may include human assistance, technical aids, financial aid applications, legal protective measures, or referrals to appropriate care structures.

A structured telephone interview at three months will assess the degree of implementation, explore associated barriers (administrative, cognitive, organizational, ...), and investigate any potential link with hospital readmissions or changes in patients' living situations.
