Easy-to-use resources for demonstrating the benefits of providing specialized care for older adults in the emergency department (ED) and return on investment (ROI) for specific geriatric ED interventions.
A short video exploring how care can differ for an older adult between a typical ED experience, and an ED with specialized geriatric care processes in place.
This expert panel webinar takes a solid look at the concept of ageism — what it is and how it affects the daily lives and clinical care of older people in emergency departments. The webinar features Marcus Escobedo who talks about the John A. Hartford Foundation’s Reframing Aging initiative and a team of ED clinicians — doctor, nurse, social worker — who discuss what changes we can make in our daily practice.
The improved and rapidly expanding systems of Geriatric ED care are inspiring. However, we must do everything in our power to reach all patient populations, especially the disadvantaged and their caregivers, in order for us to realize the true potential of GEDs.
