Abstract:

Abstract Geriatrics care in medical intensive care units (MICU) establishes a unique opportunity in early screening of High Risk Elderly (HRE) patients admitted for critical care. Many MICUs do not have a standard protocol to screen for HRE patients as part of their daily huddle. Our program is a quality improvement initiative to improve early identification of HRE patients in the MICU. HRE patients were identified based on nursing specific screening triggers at one of the Regional Hospitals of a large teaching hospital in Northeast Ohio.The program was designed as a part of geriatrics care ex

Abstract:

Background Cultivating hospital environments that support older people’s care is a national priority. Evidence on geriatric nursing practice environments, obtained from studies of registered nurses (RNs) in American teaching hospitals, may have limited applicability to Canada, where RNs and registered practical nurses (RPNs) care for older people in predominantly nonteaching hospitals.

Abstract:

Background: In India, aging population is increasing every year. So, healthcare industry needs to set up a geriatric unit soon. Development of geriatrics and old-age care systems in India will make elderly people independent and improve their lifestyle, life expectancy, and quality of life while decreasing the cost of care. This study looks at the views of patients who are 60 years or older, as well as need for a full-fledged geriatric unit in a tertiary care hospital.

Abstract:

Hospital care of frail older adults is far from optimal. Although some geriatric models of care have been shown to improve outcomes, the effect size is small and models are difficult to fully implement, sustain and replicate. The two root causes for these shortcomings are competing interests (high revenue generating diseases, procedures and surgeries) and current hospital cultures (for example a culture of safety that emphasizes bed alarms and immobility rather than frequent ambulation). Geriatric hospitals would be hospitals completely dedicated to the care of frail older patients, a group wh

Rehabilitation is a process in which a person with disabilities is accompanied to achieve the best possible physical, functional, social, intellectual, and relational outcomes. The Intermediate Care Unit within the O.U. of Geriatrics and Gerontology of the San Martino Hospital in Genoa is focused on the treatment and motor reactivation of patients with geriatric pathologies. The objective of this study was to identify which factor, among the characteristics related to the patient and those identified

ABSTRACT Background The US geriatric population is projected to steadily increase to approximately 20% by 2030, thereby significantly increasing the burden to trauma services. This study sought to transform the geriatric trauma care model into one more effective, efficient, financially sustainable, and capable of absorbing the anticipated increased demand. Study design The goals were to improve the geriatric trauma care process—for patient and hospital, detail its evolution, and provide a formative evaluation of the result. A multidisciplinary team, internal and external to the hospital, was a

Abstract:

BackgroundIn Africa, the elderly population is increasing at the fastest rate and this has become a burden as the rate is not proportional to the investment in health to meet their deteriorating health needs. Together with poor health care services, this creates discrepancies in access to health due to the financial limitations of the aged. Poor care services are related to poor knowledge, and bad perception hence this study seeks to explore the health practitioners’ level of knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP), and perception toward geriatric care.MethodsUsing a convenient sampling technique,

Abstract:

Abstract BACKGROUND: Traditional models of geriatric medicine and health system reimbursement structure often force ambulatory care teams to function as high-volume delivery programs, thereby dis-servicing our most vulnerable and frail older patients. This “high cost and high needs” labeled demographic requires uniquely adapted plans from medical and social work providers. METHODS: To better examine opportunities for improved framework for geriatric ambulatory care, the Acute Life Interventions, Goals & Needs (ALIGN) Program has launched several inter-professional pilot programs, each with

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to compare enhanced access to geriatric assessment and case management to usual home care service provision for the frail elderly. This was a demonstration project, with randomized allocation to control or intervention groups of frail elderly persons who had been referred to the Home Care service in Winnipeg. Of the 164 persons who were randomized, 78 intervention and 74 control patients were evaluated. Intervention subjects received a multidimensional assessment as soon as possible by a specially trained coordinator, who had enhanced access to geriatric

Abstract:

Burns are a significant public health issue that result in more than 180 000 fatalities annually. For specialized burn care, the geriatric burn population is a sensitive and usually challenging group. Despite the fact that all age groups have shown advances in burn care, geriatrics still have worse survival rates. Burn severity, treatment, and outcomes are impacted in geriatrics because of the physiological differences between them and younger adult burn patients. The atrophic skin of the elderly results in deeper burns, or a higher ratio of full-thickness total body surface area compared to y

We acknowledge and complement existing mnemonics devices, which are largely based on diagnosis, to introduce medical students to major geriatric topics to assist management whilst they round on their patients – Peculiar Presentations, Psychological Pertubations, Peristaltic Products, Profound Pain, Polyp
