Journal Article
Management of aged care residents in the emergency department
2014
Overview
Older people have a greater need for emergency medical care than others in the community, and the number presenting to emergency departments (ED) from residential aged care is increasing (Roberts, McKay and Shaffer 2008). In the case of elderly patients transferred from residential aged care facilities (RACF), many arrive via ambulance and are unable to give a coherent medical history or describe their treatment wishes.
