Abstract

A platform presentation to allow evaluation of diagnostics used in a Frailty Hospital at Home . An analysis of the data and a chance to explore the affect of diagnostics on subsequent hospital admissions or number of community team visits. Affect of diagnostics on management plans developed and whether they align with a person's documented goals. Data collected as part of an audit looking at the number of diagnostic tests taken by the Frailty Hospital at Home team. Subsequent outcomes including the number of hospital admissions, treatments started at home, subsequent number of community team visits and advance care planning were considered.

Comments

I enjoyed viewing and listening, thank you for the submitting. I think the TEP element is particularly interesting as is the influence of a more in depth / detailed primary assessment.
