Abstract
Integrating hospital and territorial services is essential, particularly for elderly patients, as they are at risk of yearly hospitalizations for multimorbidity, frailty, and complex diagnostic procedures. The emergency room organization aims to focus mainly on acute time-dependent diseases and cannot meet the needs of older patients. The authors present the preliminary results of an integration protocol between the hospital’s services and those of the territorial elderly home care unit in Avellino, Italy.
