Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the early 1980s, industrialised countries had experienced a dramatic increase in the number of people who survive into old age. The provision of a high standard of health care for these elderly citizens is one of the major challenges facing health services throughout the world. Originally published in 1982, in this book experts describe the geriatric services in Britain at the time, a country which had pioneered developments in this field over the previous thirty years. Much of the practical knowledge required to establish a service is outlined and the underlying philosophy is also discussed. The material covered includes the historical development of the services, operational policies, the team approach, orthopaedic and psychiatric services for the elderly and the social aspects of care. There is also a chapter dealing with the importance of education and research in this field. Unique in its approach, this book would have been of considerable value to those seeking to establish a geriatric service or to improve an already established service. Today it can be read in its historical context.

Download or read book Acute Care for Elders written by Michael L. Malone and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acute Care for Elders (ACE) is a model of care designed to improve functional outcomes and to improve the processes for the care of older patients. This model includes: an environment of care designed to promote improved function for older patients; an interdisciplinary team that works together to identify/address the vulnerabilities of the older patients; nursing care plans for prevention of disability; early planning to help prepare the patient to return home and a review of medical care to prevent iatrogenic illness. Acute Care for Elders: A Model for Interdisciplinary Care is an essential new resource aimed at assisting providers in developing and sustaining an ACE program. The interdisciplinary approach provides an introduction to the key vulnerabilities of older adults and defines the lessons learned from the Acute Care for Elders model. Expertly written chapters describe critical aspects of ACE: the interdisciplinary approach and the focus on function. The fundamental principles of ACE described in this book will further assist hospital leaders to develop, implement, sustain and disseminate the Acute Care for Elders model of care. Acute Care for Elders: A Model for Interdisciplinary Care is of great value to geriatricians, hospitalists, advance practice nurses, social workers and all others who provide high quality care to older patients.
