Description
Lim and co-authors set out the plan for a nurse-led frailty program in Singapore hospitals, in this 2025 protocol paper. Frail older patients face higher risks of poor outcomes while in hospital. Full geriatric assessment is advised for them, yet it usually needs specialist teams. Few hospital-wide models use frailty checks to pick out who should get that full review.
The program, called INFA, puts nurses in charge of screening older inpatients for geriatric syndromes and stepping in early. The paper lays out how the program will be rolled out and judged. It covers both whether the rollout works in daily ward life and whether patients fare better. The study aims to show a model other hospitals can copy.
