Innovative Initiative Reduces Hospital Length of Stay For Older Patients
The Integrated Geriatric Emergency Medicine (iGEM) initiative based out of Blacktown Hospital is significantly reducing hospital stays for older patients presenting from Residential Aged Care Facilities.
The average length of stay before the iGem unit was between 7 and 10 days.
Now about 90 per cent of patients will return to their residential aged care facility within 24 hours, where hospital-level care is continued in a familiar and comfortable environment.
