More than any other age group, Illness complexity, hospital admission rates, lengths of stay and risk of functional decline are highest for seniors. Indeed, emergency department visits are often sentinel events for seniors, threatening loss of independence, health and well-being.
Dr. V S Natarajan Geriatric Foundation is striving towards raising awareness about the need to harness the opportunities of ageing and address its challenges. The CMEs (Seminars and symposiums) are our effort to educate the doctors about managing the geriatric emergencies at home and at hospitals.
