Volunteering is where many of us got our first exposure to patient care and how we could be helpful to other people. Many EDs are starting to harness the power of volunteerism to support older people.
An Expert Panel comprised of interdisciplinary team members Kara McLoughlin, Suzanne Ryer, Maya Genovese, and Michelle Moccia highlights best practices, different approaches, and meaningful adaptations to practice that improve care for older adults in the ED.
Our Expert Panel explores strategies to extend the assessment of complex older patients, funding models for observation units, workflows and assessment tools, and real-world experiences from international contributors.
Coming in 2021, we will discuss the benefits of implementing a volunteer program in your ED, as well as key strategies for success in its implementation.
