Acute care of older patients in the emergency department: strategies to improve patient outcomes.
Older patients in the emergency department (ED) are a vulnerable population who are at a higher risk of functional decline and hospital reattendance subsequent to an ED visit, and have a high mortality rate in the months following an ED attendance.
