POSC351 Outcome Goals for Older People Living with Frailty and Acute Care Needs: An Interview Study

Abstract

Fast-flowing protocolised acute care pathways are often developed in response to system crowding. These may underserve people with frailty, who often have complex co-morbidities and who benefit from holistic, person-centred care. Older people’s health outcome goals are often not discussed or achieved in hospital. There is limited literature reporting the goals of people living with frailty, as research has often selected based on age rather than health state.
