Inappropriate hospitalisations due to nursing home-sensitive conditions pose significant risks to residents, place additional strain on emergency departments and hospitals, and thus lead to substantial healthcare costs. In light of demographic changes- characterised by an aging and increasingly multimorbid nursing home population- combined with ubiquitous lack of health care professionals, new strategies are urgently needed to ensure adequate medical care in nursing homes. Telemedicine presents a promising and innovative solution, particularly for rural regions, to improve access to timely medical attention. In this study, we evaluated whether the implementation of regular televisits, in addition to on-site visits, can help decrease unplanned hospitalisations.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In 2021, a nursing home in rural Germany introduced televisits with a cooperating general practitioner. Data on unplanned hospital admissions was collected for the years 2021/22 and 2018/19, the latter serving as a pre-intervention comparison.

This is most likely due to more frequent medical assessment, enabling early detection and timely management of deteriorations.
