Multidisciplinary care for older adults in the emergency department (ED) is endorsed by multiple national and international guidelines. There are numerous disciplines to consider including, each with different strengths and contributions, including social workers, case managers, pharmacists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, hospice and palliative medicine teams, and the emergency deaprtment physicians and nurses themselves. The care team also extends beyond the ED walls and should include community services and the patient's family members and caregivers. There are many advantages to multidisciplinary care, including improved ED metrics, reduced length of hospitalization, and a reduction in repeat ED visits.
急诊科针对老年人的多学科护理得到了多个国家和国际指南的认可。需要考虑众多学科，每个学科都有不同的优势和贡献，包括社会工作者、个案管理员、药剂师、物理治疗师、职业治疗师、言语治疗师、临终关怀和姑息治疗团队，以及急诊科医生和护士自身。护理团队的范围还应超越急诊科的围墙，应包括社区服务以及患者的家庭成员和护理人员。多学科护理有许多优点，包括改善急诊科的各项指标、缩短住院时间以及减少再次前往急诊科就诊的次数。
