Elder-friendly Approaches to the Surgical Environment (EASE) Study (EASE)
2018年10月17日 更新者：Rachel Khadaroo、University of Alberta
Elder-friendly Approaches to the Surgical Environment - Implementation of an Elder Friendly Surgical Unit
The aim of this study is to examine the impact implementing an elder-friendly surgical unit has on post-operative complications, mortality and quality of life for patients ≥ 65 years old who have undergone emergency surgical care.
研究概览
详细说明
The investigators hypothesize that the elder-friendly surgical unit will reduce in-hospital complications and mortality in a cost-effective manner, for this at risk population.
Specific elder-friendly interventions include:
- Locate all elderly surgical patients on one nursing unit
- Interdisciplinary team-based care
- Elder-friendly evidence-informed practices including: comfort rounds with early mobilization, delirium prevention/management, optimal nutrition and prevention of post-operative complications
- Early and interdisciplinary discharge management
This is a prospective, before-after study with a concurrent control group. Four senior patient groups will be followed:
