This Expert Panel Webinar follows the release of the original investigation on JAMA published by Ula Hwang et. al. exploring cost outcomes of implementing geriatric ED programs.
Discussions with Dr. Tess Hogan about COVID-19 and the elderly. Mortality is highest in this population. What can we do to make sure we don't miss it, and to help prevent spread?
At Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, the move towards being a senior-friendly ED has been a project of more than 15 years. It has been an organic approach to system transformation – i.e. one little change at a time leading to bigger changes.
Paul Dekoning and Lauren Bailey discuss some of the unique aspects of geriatric emergency care, how they present (and how they don’t), as well as some tips and tricks they learned along the way.
Aaron Malsch MS, RN, GCNS-BC and Lisa Entringer RN
