TPCH\u2019s Geriatric Evaluation Management (GEM) Ward has commenced an innovative new trial to support patients to receive care in their own home and reduce hospital readmissions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Metro North Geriatric Evaluation and Management at home (GEM@Home) trial will support the early transfer of older patients from hospital, and the delivery of safe, comprehensive care at home following discharge.<\/p>\n

The trial, which is being undertaken in partnership with Metro North\u2019s Community and Oral Health Directorate, will allow patients to remain admitted under a virtual ward model.<\/p>\n

Patients receive specialist medical management under a geriatrician supported by a multidisciplinary team which includes nursing and allied health professionals who visit patients on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

TPCH Geriatrician Dr Lucy Dakin said that the new model was an excellent example of patient centred care.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatients can get out of hospital sooner and receive care in their own home where they feel most comfortable,\u201d Dr Dakin said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople generally feel much better at home and this helps promote a quicker recovery and reduces the risk of readmission to hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt home, patients can also still access their local community which is important in helping them maintain normal life routines.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feedback to date shows that patients are very positive about the new service.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatients whom we found challenging to engage with in hospital, have done better than we anticipated when they have gone home,\u201d Dr Dakin said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are happy they can remain home and get the care they need without coming to hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
