The aim of this narrative review was to provide an overview of published SFH-programs and their elements and to summarize evidence of their effect on quality of care and patient satisfaction. Summary: A search of the databases Pubmed\/Medline from inception to July 2023 and of governmental, regional, and hospital websites was performed. Programs were earmarked as SFH-programs if they primarily focused on the hospital setting, and comprised a hospital wide, multilevel approach and consisted of multiple elements. Articles and reports were included if participants were hospitalized and aged 60 years and older, and described the effect on quality of care or patient satisfaction. Articles focusing on specific patient groups or wards or on a health system or network were excluded. Ten SFH-programs were identified, with mutual elements like \u201corganizational support,\u201d \u201csocial climate and services,\u201d \u201cprocesses of care,\u201d and \u201cphysical environment.\u201d Only for the \u201cAcute Care for Elders\u201d program (USA), evidence was found showing positive effects on functional abilities, falls, delirium, length of stay, and patient satisfaction; effectiveness of other SFH-programs could not be found. Key Message: Elements of SFH-programs may improve care for hospitalized older adults, but the evidence of their effectiveness is scarce.
