  • Resumen
    • Older adults challenge the traditional linear emergency department (ED) paradigm. Applying geriatric principles to ED practice creates safer, more comprehensive, patient-centered emergency care. Guideline-driven modifications to ED processes improve geriatric emergency care. These include geriatric-specific provider education, protocols, and screening; tailored staffing; and timely access to community resources. Older adults, their caregivers, and the health care system benefit from transition strategies that incorporate the ED into the patient’s continuum of care.
