A joint admitting policy between a general physician and a physician in medicine for the elderly reduced the length of stay in acute medical beds by 25% without increasing the length of stay in rehabilitation beds. The basis for the cooperation was not related to age but rather to the perceived needs of the patient on admission. This method of integration between medicine and geriatrics could be implemented in most hospitals.
普通内科医生和老年医学科医生之间的联合收治政策，在不增加康复病床住院时间的情况下，使急性内科病床的住院时间缩短了25%。合作的基础并非与年龄相关，而是与患者入院时的感知需求有关。这种内科与老年医学相结合的方法可在大多数医院实施。
