Geriatric Emergency Departments (GEDs) are increasingly prevalent across the United States with over 420 GEDs currently accredited. Many health care systems have made GEDs a core part of their emergency care strategy to improve quality of care, census management, and their performance in value-based contracts. This course is presented by Dr. Kevin Biese, Chair of the Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation program (https://www.acep.org/geda/), and Education and Dissemination Principal Investigator of the Geriatric Emergency Department Collaborative (https://gedcollaborative.com). The course discusses the components of GEDs, implementation strategies, and return on investment of GEDs suited to the needs of varying health care systems.
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe the key characteristics of Geriatric Emergency Departments (GEDs).
- Examine the impact of GEDs on quality of emergency care delivered.
