To evaluate the effectiveness of the Geriatric Faller Protocol (GFP) through multidisciplinary interventions in emergency settings.
Conducted an internal audit of the Geriatric Faller Protocol implementation.
Analyzed multidisciplinary team assessments and interventions for geriatric patients.
Examined outcomes related to hospital admissions and short-term adverse effects.
Identified potential reduction in hospital admissions due to early interventions.
Showed lower rates of short-term adverse outcomes among patients under GFP.
Indicated effectiveness of multidisciplinary approach in emergency settings.
Abstract
Front-loading of assessments and interventions by a multidisciplinary team for patients under GFP suggested possible hospital admission avoidance and a reduction in short-term adverse outcomes.
