Introduction Older adult patients (≥65) accessing emergency departments (ED) represent a significant demographic. Recidivism secondary to adverse drug events (ADE) ranges between 6-24% and levels of prescribed medication non-adherence is common among older adults. The ED pharmacist medication reconciliation workflow may mitigate self-management challenges in real time and reduce medication-related harm while potentially impacting recidivism, medication adherence, and patient self-efficacy. The purposes of this evidence-based project were to (1) evaluate the impact of a modified Medication Management for Deficiencies in the Elderly (MedMalDE) intervention on Self-Efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use (SEAMS) and 30-day return to care and (2) identify factors associated with medication self-management challenges (MedMalDE) in the participating institution. Methods As part of an evidence-based quality improvement (QI) effort to build an accredited geriatric emergency department (GED) and meet State legislated acute care medication history requirements, a new medication reconciliation workflow was deployed. To assess the intervention’s impact on self -efficacy in a pre/post design, 21 older adult patient’s underwent SEAMS assessment at two time points: the intervention and 7-14 days post-discharge from the emergency department. Baseline data and medication self-management challenges for an ED convenience sample of 167 older adult patients completed the MedMalDE. Descriptive statistics and a logistic regression model were used to evaluate the impact of the intervention and factors associated with medication management deficiencies. Wilcoxon Signed Rank was used for pre/post SEAMS score change. Results The self-efficacy (SEAMS) scores of 21-patients participating in the intervention were significantly improved from 19.88 to 21 (p=0.0077, p10%, included lack of knowledge regarding medication names, ease of opening or manipulating medications, ease of swallowing medications, and affordability.

导言:在急诊科(ED)就诊的老年人(≥65 岁)是一个重要的就诊人群。老年人因药物不良事件(ADE)导致的再犯率在 6-24% 之间,不遵医嘱用药的情况也很普遍。急诊室药剂师药物调节工作流程可实时缓解自我管理方面的挑战,减少与药物相关的伤害,同时对累犯、用药依从性和患者自我效能产生潜在影响。该循证项目的目的是:(1)评估经改进的老年人用药缺陷管理(MedMalDE)干预对适当用药自我效能(SEAMS)和 30 天重返护理的影响;(2)确定参与机构中与用药自我管理挑战(MedMalDE)相关的因素。方法 作为以证据为基础的质量改进(QI)工作的一部分,为了建立一个经过认证的老年急诊科(GED)并满足国家立法对急诊用药史的要求,我们部署了一个新的用药调节工作流程。为了在前后设计中评估干预对自我效能的影响,21 名老年患者在两个时间点接受了 SEAMS 评估:干预和急诊科出院后 7-14 天。167 名急诊科老年患者的基线数据和药物自我管理挑战完成了 MedMalDE。描述性统计和逻辑回归模型用于评估干预的影响以及与药物管理缺陷相关的因素。采用 Wilcoxon Signed Rank 检验 SEAMS 评分前后的变化。结果 21 名参与干预的患者的自我效能(SEAMS)得分从 19.88 分显著提高到 21 分(P=0.0077,P10%,包括缺乏药物名称知识、打开或操作药物的难易程度、吞咽药物的难易程度和经济承受能力。MedMalDE 总分与女性性别显著相关(OR=0.0077)。

The aging of the population has a significant impact on the health care system, as older adults have higher rates of emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalization, different care needs, and are at higher risk of iatrogenic harm in the hospital setting. In addition, there has recently been a rapid growth in ED observation units (EDOUs), to which older adults are frequently admitted. Recognizing the specific needs of older adults, our EDOU implemented an ‘Up by 10’ program which incorporates key components of delirium prevention programs. We took an iterative approach to the implementation of this program, resulting in a pilot program of a GeriCarED personal care attendant (PCA) focusing on the care needs of older adults. In this manuscript we report on a quality improvement study describing the feasibility of this pilot program, the role of the GeriCarED personal care attendant, and the number and type of interventions delivered to older adults. The GeriCarED PCA focused on the care of patients 75 years of age and older, as well as younger patients with cognitive or physical impairments. She systematically rounded on each patient, opening the blinds in the room to let in natural light, identifying assistance needed with activities of daily living, addressing sensory impairment, promoting mobilization, providing activities for cognitive engagement, and assessing for mental status changes. Over the 6 months of this pilot program, she saw a total of 586 patients with a median of 6 patients per day (interquartile range 3). She provided nutritional assistance to 90% of her patients, including cutting up food for 29% of patients and feeding 6% of patients. She mobilized 88% of patients, assisted 75% with washing, provided emotional support for 69% of patients, and identified an acute change in mentation in 2% of patients. Though not designed as an Age-Friendly intervention, this program aligned with the mentation, mobility and what matters components of the 4M framework.
人口老龄化对医疗保健系统产生了重大影响,因为老年人急诊科(ED)就诊和住院率更高,护理需求不同,并且在医院环境中发生医源性伤害的风险更高。此外,ED观察单元(edou)最近也在快速增长,老年人经常被收治。认识到老年人的特殊需求,我们的EDOU实施了一项“10点起床”计划,其中包括谵妄预防计划的关键组成部分。我们采用了一种迭代的方法来实施这个项目,最终形成了一个以老年人护理需求为重点的老年护理人员(PCA)试点项目。在本文中,我们报告了一项质量改进研究,该研究描述了该试点计划的可行性,GeriCarED个人护理人员的作用,以及向老年人提供的干预措施的数量和类型。GeriCarED PCA专注于75岁及以上患者的护理,以及有认知或身体障碍的年轻患者。她系统地对每个病人进行检查,打开房间的百叶窗让自然光进入,确定日常生活活动所需的帮助,解决感官障碍,促进活动,提供认知参与活动,评估精神状态变化。在这个试点项目的6个月里,她共接待了586名患者,平均每天6名患者(四分位数差3)。她为90%的患者提供营养援助,包括为29%的患者切食物,为6%的患者喂食。她动员了88%的患者,帮助75%的患者洗衣服,为69%的患者提供情感支持,并在2%的患者中发现了急性心理变化。虽然不是设计成一个老年人友好的干预,这个项目与心理、活动和4M框架的重要组成部分保持一致。

Background: Older patients with delirium are at increased risk for prolonged hospitalization, poor outcomes, higher costs and a greater risk for institutionalization. By identifying those at risk early, interventions can be implemented to prevent or minimize the severity of the delirium. Per hospital policy, our geriatric emergency department (ED) screens for delirium by performing a 4AT only if changes in mental status are noted by caregivers or healthcare providers familiar with the patient. We hypothesize this approach underestimates the prevalence of delirium on presentation to the ED, particularly among high-risk older patients. The aim of this study is to determine how many cases of delirium that are present on admission are missed using this traditional approach.
背景:老年谵妄患者住院时间延长、预后不佳、费用较高、住院风险较大。通过早期识别那些有风险的人,可以实施干预措施来预防或减少谵妄的严重程度。根据医院的政策,我们的老年急诊科(ED)只有在护理人员或熟悉患者的医疗保健提供者注意到精神状态的变化时,才会通过4AT筛查谵妄。我们假设这种方法低估了谵妄在急诊科的患病率,特别是在高风险的老年患者中。本研究的目的是确定有多少谵妄的情况下,是存在的入院使用这种传统的方法错过了。

Introduction The geriatric population is increasing in size and is expected to represent 20% of the United States population by 2030 per US census data estimates, with an expectant increase in geriatric emergency department (ED) visits. 1 Prior research has demonstrated older adults evaluated in the ED are more likely to have an increased length of stay, more diagnostic tests, and higher overall costs than their younger counterparts, but despite consuming greater resources and staff time, older adults are still more likely to be dissatisfied with their treatment outcomes and less likely to feel that their presenting complaint has been resolved. 2,4 In 2013 the American Academy of Emergency Physicians began a formal accrediting process for Geriatric Emergency Departments, 3 and the Beaumont Royal Oak ED implemented a Geriatric Assessment Team (GAT) while in the process of obtaining this accreditation. The primary objective of this qualitative study was to assess the older patient’s experience and perception of the care they received in the emergency department after evaluation by the Geriatric Assessment Team and determine if patients would recommend the continuation of this program. Methods Patients aged 65 and older that do not live in a nursing home and presented to the ED from the community Monday through Friday between 9 AM to 5 PM were screened using the Identifying Seniors at Risk Questionnaire. Those who scored 2 or higher underwent additional testing to further assess cognition, fall risk, risk of polypharmacy. Patients who screened positive on any of these tests received additional care coordination including physical and occupational therapy evaluations, home care, and medical equipment. When workup was completed, a 6-question survey was administered to assess satisfaction with the program elements on a scale from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied), with opportunity to provide additional comments. Results From November 2020 through May 2021, 258 surveys were collected. The average age of responders was 79 and 40% of responders identified as male. 46.1% of surveyed patients were discharged, 34% admitted, 18% placed in the observation unit, 1.6% were discharged directly to a subacute rehab facility,
引言老年人口的规模正在增加,根据美国人口普查数据估计,到2030年,老年人口预计将占美国人口的20%,老年急诊科就诊人数预计还会增加。1先前的研究表明,接受ED评估的老年人比年轻人更有可能延长住院时间、进行更多的诊断测试和更高的总体成本,但尽管他们消耗了更多的资源和员工时间,老年人仍然更有可能对他们的治疗结果感到不满,也不太可能觉得他们提出的投诉已经得到解决。2,42013年,美国急诊医师学会开始了老年急诊科的正式认证程序,3博蒙特皇家橡树急诊科在获得认证过程中成立了老年评估小组(GAT)。这项定性研究的主要目的是在老年评估小组评估后,评估老年患者对他们在急诊科接受的护理的体验和看法,并确定患者是否会建议继续该项目。方法使用识别风险老年人问卷对周一至周五上午9点至下午5点从社区到急诊室就诊的65岁及以上不住在疗养院的患者进行筛查。那些得分为2或更高的人接受了额外的测试,以进一步评估认知能力、跌倒风险和多药治疗的风险。在任何这些检测中呈阳性的患者都接受了额外的护理协调,包括物理和职业治疗评估、家庭护理和医疗设备。工作完成后,进行了一项6个问题的调查,以评估对项目要素的满意度,从1(非常不满意)到5(非常满意),并有机会提供更多意见。结果从2020年11月到2021年5月,共收集了258项调查。应答者的平均年龄为79岁,40%的应答者为男性。46.1%的受访患者出院,34%入院,18%被安置在观察室,1.6%直接出院到亚急性康复机构,

Assessing falls among the older adult population in the emergency department (ED) is challenging. Multi-factorial fall assessments often take time, a resource that is limited in crowded and under-resourced EDs. Nonetheless, EDs have a unique opportunity to intervene to prevent recurrent falls. Patients may present soon after their fall and may be more open to interventions that can change their fall risk. Given the aging population, visits for falls among the older adult population will likely increase.1 This brief report outlines the top 10 considerations when caring for older adult patients who present to the ED with a fall.
评估急诊科老年人的跌倒情况具有挑战性。多因素跌倒评估通常需要时间,这在拥挤和资源不足的急诊科是有限的。尽管如此,急诊科有一个独特的机会进行干预,以防止复发性跌倒。患者可能在跌倒后不久出现,并且可能更愿意接受可以改变其跌倒风险的干预措施。考虑到人口老龄化,老年人跌倒的就诊次数可能会增加。1这份简短的报告概述了护理因跌倒而去急诊室就诊的老年患者时的十大注意事项。
