Conceptual Diagram

Frail older patients are at risk of hospital-acquired disability and poor quality-of-life after a hospitalization. The interaction of hospitalization-related stressors and pre-existing frailty deficits negatively impacts the capacity for recovery after an acute illness. The TARGET-EFT interventions aim to counteract hospitalization-related stressors and frailty deficits to improve patient-centered outcomes. Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; HAD, hospital-acquired disability; HRQOL, health-related quality of life; IDA, iron deficiency anemia; IV, intravenous.
