摘要: Approximately 50% of hospitalized elders have cognitive impairment (CI) that increases their vulnerability to hospital-acquired complications. Matching geriatric evalua- tion and recommendations the true pace hospital care may improve in general, particular those with CI. Integrating information technology into services (gero-informatics) might allow reduction time implementation recom- mendations prevent initiation potentially harmful medications procedures during critical fi rst 48 hours hospitalization. This paper reviews our local gero-informatics early experience developing a computerized decision support system (CDSS) enhance for CI by reducing inappropriate use anticholinergic medications, urinary catheters, physical restraints.
