Home Helpers Launches New Comprehensive Care Program Aimed at Helping Clinicians Decrease Hospital Admissions and Readmissions.
Four Factors Lead to Geriatric Hospital Admissions and Readmissions
Extensive research conducted by both the Centers for Medicare Services and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) shows the contributing factors associated with geriatric hospitalizations. These break down into 4 key areas.
- Improper adherence to medical professionals’ treatment plans and follow-up care https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4731880/
- Improper nutrition – this includes the compliance of dietary adjustments as well as dehydration https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6486853/
- Medication compliance
