Why?

  • 79 million Baby Boomers become 65
  • Age 65 and over have increased healthcare needs
  • ED utilization of seniors
  • Contributing factors
  • Outcomes
  • Paradigm shift
  • More likely to fill out patient satisfaction surveys
  • More likely to be dissatisfied
  • VALUE-BASED PURCHASING

  • 7x more usage of ED services
  • 43% of all admissions
  • 48% of all Critical Care admissions
  • 20% longer length of stay
  • 50% more lab
  • 50% more radiology
  • 400% more social service interventions

Contributing Factors

1.Shrinking primary care pool

  • Deficit of 25,000 Gerontologists by 2030

– FP Residents Decreased by 50% – IM Residents choosing Primary Care dropped from 54% to 22%

2.Lack of financial incentives

  • Medicare is primary insurance of the elderly
  • Medicare pays 25-31% less than private insurers

3.Complexity of care

  • Multiple chronic diseases compounded by social issues
  • Outpatient management issues

– Cognition – Mobility – Transportation – Subspecialist availability

4.ED most appropriate venue

  • One-stop shopping

– Labs, X-ray, specialists

  • Not more expensive

Current model: poor outcomes for seniors

  • 1. Delay in diagnosis &

treatment

  • Acute MI
  • Sepsis
  • Appendicitis
  • Ischemic bowel
  • 2. Unsuspected diagnosis
  • Delirium
  • Depression
  • Cognitive impairment
  • Drug & alcohol
  • Elder abuse
  • Polypharmacy
  • 3. Under-treatment
  • Low rate of PCI in MI
  • TPA in stroke
  • Less surgical intervention
  • Inadequate pain management
  • 4. Over-treatment
  • High rate of Foley cath
  • Adverse drug events
  • Overuse of sedation
