Dr. Christina Shenvi and Megan Corry discuss how geriatric specialty paramedic training has the potential to decrease ED readmission rates and enhance the care of older adults.
Within emergency departments, registered nurses with geriatric education are invaluable for assessing older patients, making appropriate care plans, communicating with other health care professionals, and connecting families with services.
