Evidence-based framework for effective and safe acute hospital care for older people with memory disorders and dementia in Europe (EU-project)
Acute hospital care for older persons with memory disorders and dementia (PwD) requires urgent redesign to adequately meet patient needs, improve health status, quality of life and quality of care, and reduce costs. In recent years the number of PwD admitted to European acute hospitals has significantly increased. PwD stay longer in hospitals than persons without dementia, have a higher risk of adverse events and worse outcomes. The aim of this project is the development of an evidence-based framework with standards and criteria to guarantee high quality person centered acute hospital care for PwD.
