About this trial
The Groupement de Coopération Sanitaire des Hôpitaux Universitaires du Grand Ouest (GCS HUGO) (health cooperation group for university hospitals in the west of France), is proposing to improve the quality of geriatric care by modernizing hospital rooms. The GCS HUGO has embarked on a project to co-design a hospital room adapted for the elderly, called "Hospi'Senior", with the help of the "Dépendance et Grand âge" (Dependency and Old Age) steering committee, made up of experts from HUGO's establishments and experts from several companies.

Treatments tested in this trial
Hospi'Senior
BehavioralThe Hospi'Senior room is equipped with conventional furnishings (same bed and same armchair as a conventional room) to which have been added technological innovations and innovations in furnishings. Innovative technologies cover bed equipment, patient mobility (autonomous and assisted), lighting, communication and social space.
Conventional room
BehavioralThe conventional room is a classic hospital room not equipped with the innovative technologies found in the Hospi'Senior room. The room is equipped with a bed, bedside table, adjustable bed table with castors and an armchair.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Length of stay in the short-stay geriatric unit
The length of stay is measured in days
Time frame
This outcome is assessed at the end of the geriatric unit stay (up to 2 months)Secondary outcomes
1
Changes in functional capabilities
Functional capabilities are assessed with Activities of Daily Living (ADL) score. ADL is an autonomy assessment grid (from 0 to 6) for basic activities of daily living. The lower the score, the more dependent the patient is.
Time frame
This outcome is assessed at inclusion, on discharge (up to 2 months) and within 30 days of discharge from the short-stay geriatric unit2
Occurrence of behavioral disorders
Behavioral disorders are assessed with Neuropsychiatric Inventory-nursing home version (NPI-NH) score. For each scale domain, higher scores indicate greater neuropsychiatric symptomatology (range from 0 to 12/12).
Time frame
This outcome is assessed at inclusion and on discharge (up to 2 months)3
Occurrence of falls
Number of falls observed during hospital stay and within 30 days of discharge from the short-stay geriatric unit
Time frame
This outcome is assessed on discharge (up to 2 months) and within 30 days of discharge from the short-stay geriatric unit4
Occurrence and/or worsening of stage bedsores ≥ 2
Occurrence and/or worsening of stage bedsores ≥ 2 during hospital stay
Time frame
This outcome is assessed on discharge (up to 2 months)Sponsors and contacts
