From the University of Hertfordshire (UK), this is an interim report of an ongoing evaluation of the National POPP (Partnerships for Older People Projects) programme.
The 29 POPP Pilot Sites potentially bring benefits by reducing the inappropriate use of hospital bed-days. Benefits accrue from the savings that could be released from a reduced use of hospital services and also from the better outcomes people might experience from being cared for within their own homes. In this analysis, data used from the first round sites (19, activity from May 2006) concentrates on the cost savings, where a lack of data limits, at this point in time in the evaluation, any assessment of the outcome effects.
