The continuously growing segment of the geriatric population with the high incidence and prevalence of comorbidity and disability suggests that enhanced preventive and rehabilitative programs will be mandatory. The early arrangement of comprehensive assessment and rehabilitation services is extremely important not only in preventing the decline of patients in the acute care settings and successive prolonged care before discharge, but also in improving functional status at discharge. We have considered the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program in acute medical care of the elderly. This article discusses a pilot project being carried out at Catholic University Hospital "A. Gemelli" of Rome.
老年人口持续增长，合并症和残疾的发病率及患病率居高不下，这表明强化预防和康复项目将成为必然。尽早安排全面评估和康复服务极为重要，这不仅有助于防止患者在急性护理环境中病情恶化以及出院前连续接受长期护理，还能改善出院时的功能状态。我们已经考虑了康复项目在老年人急性医疗护理中的效果。本文讨论了正在罗马的天主教大学医院“A. 杰梅利”开展的一个试点项目。
