Abstract
AbstractSection Aim
Does a mobile geriatric acute team (GAT) emanating from a geriatric ward decrease emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalizations and length of stay in hospital?
AbstractSection Findings
There was no observed overall reduction in ED visits, hospitalizations or days spent in hospital for the participants. However, the participants who lived in nursing homes or were referred to GAT by ambulance (in total 39%), and all the participants getting intravenous antibiotics experienced a significant reduction in all these outcomes and consequently a reduction in costs of hospital care.
AbstractSection Message
The results suggest that geriatric acute mobile teams do not reduce ED visits, hospitalisations, and length of stay in hospital overall. However, they might reduce healthcare use in some subgroups.
