Delirium and transition to a nursing home of hospitalized older adults: A controlled trial of assessing the interdisciplinary team‐based “geriatric” care and care coordination by non‐geriatrics specialist physicians

Abstract

As compared with the usual care group, a significantly lower probability of transition to a nursing home was observed in the ITD intervention group, but the probabilities of delirium between the ITD intervention and usual care groups did not differ significantly.

Constructing definitions of safety risks while nurses care for hospitalised older people: Secondary analysis of qualitative data

“…Research examining relationships between nursing care, patient safety and organisational factors identifies hospital work environments as influencing nurses' efforts to manage patient safety (Aiken, Sloane, Bruyneel, Van den Heede, & Sermeus, 2013;Aiken et al, 2011Aiken et al, , 2012Clarke & Aiken, 2006;Dickson & Flynn, 2012;Dresser, 2012;Dubois et al, 2013;Jeffs, Affonso, & MacMillan, 2008;You, Nakagawa, & Kim, 2013). Scholars have identified that three-quarters of hospital safety events are attributable to decreased availability of nursing care (D'Amour, Dubois, Tchouaket, Clarke, & Blais, 2014).…”

Effects of an internal medicine floor interdisciplinary team on hospital and clinical outcomes of seniors with acute medical illness

“…However, reductions in delirium and 30-day hospital readmission in the patients of the interdisciplinary team did not occur. 11,12,26 An interdisciplinary team might have played a "buffering role" of an inverse relationship between shortened hospital length of stay and early hospital readmission. 22,23 The consequences of this "quicker-sicker" trend have been linked to poor discharge outcomes (e.g.…”

To meet this need, since 2007, the Cleveland Clinic Health System in the USA and Korea University in Korea have been collaborating to develop the educational programs for graduate medical trainees, and to evaluate these programs.…”
