Description
Older adults often wait too long in hospital for a discharge that could come sooner. A 2024 protocol by Kerry Kuluski and co-authors sets out a study of that problem in Canada. Delayed discharge can deepen frailty, dull thinking, and burn out caregivers while beds stay blocked.
The planned study mixes methods in stages and designs services with the people who use them. First, long-term health records will be used to find groups of adults aged sixty-five and older at highest risk. Later stages explore how community health and social care could prevent some stays and speed others. The protocol aims at a better balance of care.
