Researchers have identified that 32% of individuals over age 70 and approximately 50% of those over age 80 experience a loss of physical function (activities of daily living) during hospitalization. Implementing specific geriatric models of care can improve hospitalization-associated outcomes, such as: ⤴ Increased likelihood of discharge home instead of to a facility ⬇ Decreased incidence of delirium ⬇ Decreased mortality risk ↘ Shortened hospital length of stay (LOS) ↘ Lower or equal costs of hospital care Earlier patient mobilization programs in hospitals, such as QCH's "Get Moving Team," decrease the risk of functional decline during hospitalization and significantly reduce hospital care costs in Ontario. Specialized geriatric nursing resources that provide clinical expertise in our Emergency Department team will deliver person-centered, high-quality care and provide faster access to the necessary services within hours of hospitalization for our patients living with dementia. The caregivers of our most vulnerable patients deserve early navigation support that is practical and useful in our Emergency Department. QCH is very well-known for it's innovative lens on geriatric and dementia care. Highlighting initiatives that benefit our older adults is so crucial to ensuring they become sustainable, receive permanent funding, and can be replicated across hospitals in Ontario. The work always continues in improving the lives of our older adults in acute care hospitals. #innovationinhealthcare #personcenteredcare #geriatrics #hospital

Some live key takeaways from our webinar with Caitlin Synovec from National Health Care for the Homeless Council: ✔ Hospitals can provide consistent, predictable funding for programs through contracts and rates. ✔ Even in states where other funding mechanisms exist or are in development, hospital funding supports operational costs and non-billable services. ✔ Medical respite can contribute to hospital goals such as decreased length of stay and reduce readmission rates.
