The CP@clinic intervention had a significant effect on mean monthly ambulance calls and a greater improvement in Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) in intervention buildings compared to control buildings. / Paramédecine communautaire à la Clinique (PC@clinique) est un programme de prévention, de gestion et de promotion de la santé des maladies chronique visant les personnes âgées vivant dans des immeubles subventionnés.
