9. Examples of Good Practices
Prescription and adherence to medical plans: Medicines management
initiative for older people, Northern Ireland. Integrated working of health
professionals, community pharmacist and involvement of industry. Return on
Investment: 4:1
Preventing functional decline & frailty: Optimizing nutrition, physical and
cognitive performance in elderly people after a major osteoporotic fracture
in Tuscany, Italy. Target population: 5.350 patients; estimated potential
savings: 250.000 € per year.
Integrated Care: Integrated Care Health Insurance Contract for Back Pain,
Germany. With financial incentives for a targeted rehabilitation programme,
participants are able to return on average 72 days earlier to their workplace.
Age-Friendly environment: Assisted Living Areas Rotterdam
developing 16 areas with optimal conditions for elderly citizens
or people with a handicap

10. Preliminary achievements of the EIP
• mapping the good practices in the EU and beyond (over 300
examples)
• identification of benchmarks on physical and cognitive decline;
• testing of protocols on frailty in larger cohorts;
• improvement of screening methods for detecting early dementia;
• building of international networks for innovation and evidence
development;
• mapping the risk stratification tools for targeted care
• matrix of necessary ICT services for integrated care
• replication of best practices in new regions and scaling-up
existing innovative solutions for healthy ageing.
