The West Health Accelerator: Transforming The Care of Older Adults in Hospitals
December 10 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Transforming hospital care for older adults is imperative, and while there are clinical solutions to target the needs of this population, many hospitals have not operationalized these solutions across units or beyond pilot programs. Hospitals are actively working to reduce lengths of stay and costs, while simultaneously addressing the needs of increasingly complex patients. The opportunity to spread these learnings and employ them at hospitals across Mass General Brigham is enabling better care for older adults through proven solutions. MGB has demonstrated that improving clinical workflows, electronic order sets, and dashboard tracking, while training clinical geriatric champions leads to improved outcomes.

Come learn about the West Health Accelerator at Mass General Brigham and how it leverages the system’s strengths in geriatric care to develop, study, and implement best practices, protocols, and training programs that address the needs and risks of seniors within one of the largest regional health systems in the country.
