WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: This study tested a new monitoring system to predict risk of emergency hospitalizations in seven French AL communities. For the 118 included residents, 38 emergency hospitalizations were documented, and 50% of alerts from the system led to health care interventions. Hospitalizations were correlated with a lack of alert-triggered interventions, suggesting the system leads to improvements.
