Elderly Inpatients Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation d'un Prototype de Chambre Innovante adaptée au Grand Age
The Groupement de Coopération Sanitaire des Hôpitaux Universitaires du Grand Ouest (GCS HUGO) (health cooperation group for university hospitals in the west of France), is proposing to improve the quality of geriatric care by modernizing hospital rooms. The GCS HUGO has embarked on a project to co-design a hospital room adapted for the elderly, called "Hospi'Senior", with the help of the "Dépendance et Grand âge" (Dependency and Old Age) steering committee, made up of experts from HUGO's establishments and experts from several companies.
The main objective is to evaluate the effect of hospitalization in a Hospi'Senior room on the length of stay of elderly people compared with hospitalization in a conventional room for a similar admission reason. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the effect of hospitalization in a Hospi'Senior room for elderly people, compared with hospitalization in a conventional room for a similar admission reason, on : 2) Changes in functional abilities during the hospital stay and in the 30 days following discharge from the short-stay geriatric unit 3) Occurrence of behavioral disorders 4) Occurrence of falls during the hospital stay and in the 30 days following discharge from the short-stay geriatric unit 5) Occurrence and/or worsening of stage bedsores ≥ 2 during the hospital stay as classified by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) 6) Occurrence of early rehospitalization ;
