Comparing staff predictions to risk tools for nursing home patients
This trial compares how well the nursing staff's judgment predicts patient outcomes compared to standard risk assessment tools. It aims to see if staff can accurately identify patients at higher risk, which could improve care planning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a patient in a skilled nursing department at Shmuel Harofeh Hospital.

This trial looks at how doctors and nurses predict survival for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit, compared to a standard medical score. It may help understand the accuracy of these predictions.
This study looks at whether the risk assessments done by trained family caregivers or nursing home staff are as good as standard hospital checklists for predicting who might get sicker or need to return to the hospital. It is for adults over 65 who are admitted for an acute medical problem, not for social reasons or end-of-life care.
This study tests if a nurse visiting you at home after leaving the hospital can help improve care for patients who are very frail and likely to die within the next year. It aims to see if this extra support makes a difference.
This trial compares two ways of providing palliative care to hospitalized patients who are likely to pass away within the next year. It aims to see which approach better meets patients' needs and improves their quality of life.
This study looks at hospital and emergency patients with heart failure and uses “omics” (advanced lab data from the body) plus statistics and artificial intelligence to predict who is likely to return to the hospital soon. If it works, it could help doctors better plan follow-up care to reduce repeat hospital visits.
This study looks at how different factors—like health, mental well-being, and social support—work together to predict frailty in older adults. The goal is to better understand frailty in men and women, which may help doctors provide more personalized care.
