Brief Summary:
Nursing home patients admitted to the hospital pose a significant challenge for health care providers Geriatric teaching pays particular attention to these admissions and related problems However it is yet to be proven whether geriatric training helps to overcome any of these issues in a better way than through non-geriatric education The study aims to prove that geriatric training provides advantages over non-geriatric training in caring for nursing home patients admitted to the hospital
Detailed Description:
Context Nursing home patients admitted to the hospital pose a significant challenge for health care providers Geriatric age frailty multiple readmissions prolonged length of stay and high mortality are just a few attributes of nursing home patients in the hospital Geriatric teaching pays particular attention to these challenging problems However it is yet to be proven whether geriatric training helps to overcome any of these issues in a better way than through non-geriatric education
Objective To test the hypothesis that geriatric care provides advantages over non-geriatric training in caring for nursing home patients admitted to the hospital in regards to length of stay rate of expirations and rate of readmissions The secondary objective is to compare expirations and readmissions among patients cared for by geriatricians and non-geriatricians
Design Setting and Participants Retrospective cohort study of patients admitted from Metropolitan Jewish Geriatric Nursing Home MJGNH to Maimonides Medical Center MMC over a certain period of time and under the care of geriatricians non-geriatric internists and surgeons Comparison of the three study groups by age sex expiration rate length of hospital stay LOS and readmission rate Comparison of expired patients by age sex and average LOS Comparison of readmissions expiration rate by preservation of continuity of care and by emergency room visits without admission
