An Early Supported Discharge (ESD) Model of Care for Older Adults Admitted to Hospital: A Descriptive Cohort Study
An ESD model of care can have significant effects on patient outcomes for older adults admitted to hospital at 30 and 180 days, without increasing the risk of unscheduled Emergency Department re-presentation. Future research should explore the impact of an ESD model of care on specific older adult cohorts.
