Evaluating the Effectiveness of the Integrated Geriatric Emergency Medicine Short Stay Unit Model of Care: A Retrospective Cohort Study

The iGEM SSU model was associated with greater efficiency, reduced inpatient admissions, shorter hospital length of stay, and potential cost savings compared to standard geriatric emergency care in this retrospective case-control study. These findings suggest that iGEM may help to alleviate ED pressures and optimise hospital resource utilisation without compromising patient safety.

Abstract

The iGEM SSU model was associated with greater efficiency, reduced inpatient admissions, shorter hospital length of stay, and potential cost savings compared to standard geriatric emergency care in this retrospective case-control study. These findings suggest that iGEM may help to alleviate ED pressures and optimise hospital resource utilisation without compromising patient safety.
