Abstract

Frail older people are at risk of long hospital stays, and there is growing emphasis on identifying alternative care pathways in the community. Rapid decisions to discharge older people may not always serve the patient well. Specialist assessment from geriatricians could improve outcomes.

摘要

体弱的老年人有住院时间长的风险，并且越来越强调在社区中确定替代护理途径。迅速决定让老年人出院可能并不总是对患者有利。老年科医生的专业评估可能会改善治疗结果。
