System of Integrated Services for the Frail Elderly
SIPA is a demonstration and evaluation
project based on a model of integrated care for the frail elderly
developed by François
Béland, Howard
Bergman and
Paule Lebel.
The demonstration project aimed to implement a model for
the frail elderly living in the community and to evaluate by
means of an experimental device, its comparative advantage in
regards to existing services in Montreal. The evaluation was
on impact on health, utilization of services, cost of services,
quality of care and the implementation and organization of services.
The SIPA project was carried out on the Island of Montreal over
a period of 22 months from 1999 to 2001.
SIPA’s goals
- respond appropriately to the needs
of older persons with disabilities
- maintain and promote the independence and capacity of
older persons to make choices, while respecting their dignity
- optimize the use of community, hospital and institutional
resources
