What is INTERCARE
INTERCARE is an interprofessional nurse-led care model developed specifically for long-term care facilities in Switzerland that successfully reduces unplanned transfers. INTERCARE was developed as part of the research project of the same name from 2017 – 2021 and supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation under NPF 74, the Nursing Science Foundation and the Ebnet Foundation.

What is INTERSCALE
INTERSCALE is a research project funded by the Nursing Science Foundation and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), which aims to conduct a scale-up of the nurse-led care model INTERCARE. It will examine whether a set of less resource-intensive implementation strategies compared to those developed for the INTERCARE model are able to support the implementation of INTERCARE to achieve an equally successful reduction in unplanned hospital transfers and a sustained implementation of INTERCARE. The cost-effectiveness of implementation strategies will also be assessed.
For this purpose, the INTERCARE model will be adapted and updated on the basis of the experiences from INTERCARE and simultaneously a lighter set of implementation strategies will be developed.
