How digital health solutions align with the roles and functions that support hospital to home transitions for older adults: a rapid review study protocol
Introduction Older adults may experience challenges during the hospital to home transitions that could be mitigated by digital health solutions. However, to promote adoption in practice and realise benefits, there is a need to specify how digital health solutions contribute to hospital to home trans...
