How nurse experts in Swiss nursing homes shape their role development: A qualitative secondary analysis In Swiss nursing homes, often registered nurses in expanded roles are responsible for developing and maintaining quality of care. These are qualified nurses with a heterogeneous educational background and extensive professional experience. However, little is known of how they develop their roles in nursing homes.

Health economic evaluation of a nurse-led care model from the nursing home perspective focusing on residents' hospitalisations.

Background: Health economic evaluations of the implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) into practice provide vital information but are rarely conducted. We evaluated the health economic impact associated with implementation and intervention of the INTERCARE model-an EBI to reduce hospitalisations of nursing home (NH) residents-compared to usual NH care.

Methods: The INTERCARE model was conducted in 11 NHs in Switzerland.

Implementation of a complex intervention to reduce hospitalizations from nursing homes: a mixed-method evaluation of implementation processes and outcomes.

Unlabelled: BACKGROUND | OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the implementation of three intervention elements to reduce hospitalizations in nursing home residents.

Design: Convergent mixed-method design within a hybrid type-2 effectiveness-implementation study.

Setting: Eleven nursing homes in the German-speaking region of Switzerland.

Positive effect of the INTERCARE nurse-led model on reducing nursing home transfers: A nonrandomized stepped-wedge design.

Background: Unplanned nursing home (NH) transfers are burdensome for residents and costly for health systems. Innovative nurse-led models of care focusing on improving in-house geriatric expertise are needed to decrease unplanned transfers. The aim was to test the clinical effectiveness of a comprehensive, contextually adapted geriatric nurse-led model of care (INTERCARE) in reducing unplanned transfers from NHs to hospitals.

Residents' and Relatives' Experiences of Acute Situations: A Qualitative Study to Inform a Care Model.

Background And Objectives: As new models of care aiming to reduce hospitalizations from nursing homes emerge, their implementers must consider residents' and relatives' needs and experiences with acute changes in the residents' health situations. As part of the larger INTERCARE implementation study, we explored these persons' experiences of acute situations in Swiss nursing homes.

Research Design And Methods: 3 focus groups were conducted with residents and their relatives and analyzed via reflexive thematic analysis.
