The study compares the demographics, policy structure, decision-making process, and the crucial role of the built, social and technological environments along the home-to-hospital care pathways of older adults ageing in place in three regions. This future-focused research approach will allow stakeholders to rethink and imagine ways that health and care systems can be personalized and responsive to the future needs of older adult populations.
