Guiding Principles for Transformation Towards Integrated Acute Care for Older Adults Close to Home: Lessons from Nine Dutch Regional Partnerships. A Realist Evaluation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Integrated Acute Care for Older People (IACOP) close to home is a promising approach to overcome care fragmentation, but little is know about effective meso- and macro-strategies to foster integration. This Realist Evaluation (RE) explores which strategies were employed and recommended in nine Dutch regional partnerships. Methods: The Rainbow Model, RE-theory, Coleman's boat and ripple effects functioned as theoretical basis. We conducted a document analysis (n = 19), semi-structured interviews (n = 11) and two focus groups (n = 8). Participants were (project) managers, directors and experts. The qualitative data were clustered into guiding principles, underpinned with strategy-context-mechanism-outcome configurations. Results: Six guiding principles for transformation towards IACOP close to home emerged. Meso-level principles included: 1) committing to a shared regional IACOP vision and goals; 2) fostering a culture of collaborative and coordinated action; 3) prioritising, implementing and developing micro-level interventions systematically. Macro-level principles were: 4) ensuring congruent policy; 5) stimulating functional integration and 6) stimulating normative integration. Conclusions: Transforming towards IACOP close to home is complex and requires continuous action across integration levels, health practices and sectors. The meso-level principles guide regional partnerships in applying context-specific strategies; activating the underlying mechanisms for transformation like 'enjoying the process'. Yet, successful transformation also hinges on actions by system stakeholders.
