The rate of emergency room visits is high at the extremes of age, with patients aged 75 or over accounting for 12% of emergency room visits, and the time they spend there is significantly longer than that of younger patients. Nursing Home residents represent 14% of these emergency room visits and only 5% of them on average are not hospitalised and return to their original Nursing Home. A retrospective study of patients aged 75 and over referred to the emergency department of the Nancy Hospital by the Nursing Homes over a six-month period showed that nearly 30% of patients aged 75 and over referred by their Nursing Home were rehospitalized during the period studied, 1/3 for the same reason and 2/3 for other reasons. The intervention of an Advanced Practice Nurse (IPA) attached to geriatric practice, among other things, as an interface between Nursing Home and the hospital therefore seems to have its place in improving the care pathway for the elderly. The assessment by an Advanced geriatric Practice Nurse of residents of Nursing Home aged 75 and over in Grand Nancy area one week after a visit to the emergency room significantly reduces the number of new visits to the emergency room by these residents over a follow-up period of seven months, compared with residents of Nursing homes aged 75 and over (outside Grand Nancy area) who do not benefit from an assessment by an Advanced Practice Nurse.
