Preventing hospital readmissions starts with proactive care. Falls and medical emergencies are among the leading causes of seniors returning to the hospital-but with fast emergency response, we can change that.
Did you know nearly 1 in 5 seniors discharged from the hospital is readmitted within 30 days? According to the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, common causes include falls, medication-related issues, and delayed emergency response.
In Canada, the impact of falls among seniors is alarming:
- 111% increase in fall-related mortality (2001–2019)
- 47% rise in fall-related hospitalizations (2008–2019)
