Health instability measured with CHESS-Lite has a high predictive value for identifying home care intensity in geriatric patients after discharge from hospital to home, especially in persons with higher home care intensity scores. Geriatric patients with high health instability should be focused on at discharge to prioritize assessment and initiate timely services for home care support.
