Background: Healthcare systems worldwide are not equipped to accommodate for the growing population of older people. People in this age group often have an increased risk for developing frailty, multi-morbidity and functional impairments. Given that 40 % of all patients seeking care at the emergency department are frail older people, there is a need to identify ways to initiate preventative actions to frail old people.  Aim: To describe and evaluate a person-centred remote intervention via telephone and a digital platform for community-dwelling frail older people, above 75 years who seek acute hospital care but are not hospitalised.  Methods – Design: The IHOPe study is a randomised, controlled, trial with two parallel groups and a primary endpoint 3 months after inclusion (1). Frail older people aged 75 years or older, living in ordinary housing and not hospitalised, will be screened for frailty at the Emergency department and randomised to intervention or control. Intervention The intervention comprises person-centred phone-calls (stimulating narration) and co-creation of care through a digital platform for up to 6 months. The older person (sometimes with significant others) together with the health care professional will formulate a person-centred health plan, which is then uploaded to the IHOPe platform. The health plan focuses the older persons’ goals, resources and needs. The health plan is the point of departure for the forthcoming dialogues. Primary endpoint The primary endpoint is a composite of changes in general self-efficacy and need for hospital care. Results: At present 160 participants have been included. Considering the long period of time between last date for submission of abstracts and the conference (six months), we will have included the planned study population and be able to present tentative findings from analyses of data in IHOPe, at the conference in May 2024.
