Description
Elin Høyvik, Malcolm Bray Doupe, and Frode Fadnes Jacobsen study the fraught trips nursing home residents make to emergency departments, in a paper from two thousand twenty-five. Residents who fall ill at once have complex needs that span several organizations. Each handoff is a chance for facts and care to slip through the cracks.
Eighteen healthcare professionals from the organizations involved gave interviews for the study. Thematic analysis gave rise to three themes. One is engagement that is open to all and backs the resident up while it brings them in. One is operational readiness, the structures that let staff cope with surprises. One is work across organizations, which ties the system into one whole. The team sets out the terms that would make these trips go more well. Their findings speak to each health system that finds it hard to join up elder care across its parts.
