Outcomes of <scp>FRAIL</scp> ‐ <scp>NH</scp> in an acute residential aged care geriatric medicine <scp>InReach</scp> service

Results demonstrate the potential benefits of screening for frailty in clinical services providing acute care to vulnerable populations. Identifying frail residents could assist in tailoring care/interventions, prioritising advance care planning/goals of care discussions and allocation of resources.
