Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation (GEDA)

At San Dimas Community Hospital , seniors have earned a little extra consideration, and we are honored to care for the older adults of Eastern Los Angeles County.

San Dimas Community Hospital earned the Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation (GEDA) recognizing emergency departments that go above and beyond to provide excellent care for older adults. The GEDA program is the culmination of years of progress in emergency care of older adults. In 2014, four geriatric focused organizations developed and released geriatric ED guidelines. These guidelines recommended measures ranging from adding geriatric-friendly equipment to specialized staff to more routine screening for delirium, dementia, and fall risk, among other vulnerabilities.

The voluntary GEDA program provides specific criteria and goals for emergency clinicians and administrators to target. A Geriatric Accredited emergency department must incorporate selected best practices, as well as provide inter-disciplinary geriatric education, and have geriatric appropriate equipment and supplies available.

At the Hospital Name emergency department, we’ll see you quickly, and we take time to evaluate your condition and develop the best plan of care for you. With our geriatric trained Emergency Nurses, our collaborative ER team is trained to identify older adults that need extra support during and after their hospitalization.

In addition, we work closely with you to manage your long-term health and wellness. Our clinicians develop a discharge plan with you and your family to help you manage your future healthcare needs.

Our accredited senior Emergency Department features an atmosphere to enhance safety and comfort. During your stay, you can expect the following:

Educated Geriatric Emergency Nurses
Easy-to-read signs and clocks
Pressure reducing mattresses

Extra seating for family
Skid- proof footwear

Acreditación como Departamento de Emergencias Geriátricas (GEDA)

En San Dimas Community Hospital , los adultos de edad avanzada se han ganado un poco de consideración adicional y es un honor cuidar de los adultos mayores del Este del Condado de Los Angeles.

San Dimas Community Hospital obtuvo la Acreditación como Departamento de Emergencias Geriátricas (GEDA), que reconoce a los departamentos de emergencias que hacen más de lo esperado para brindar atención médica de excelencia a los adultos mayores. El programa GEDA es la culminación de años de avances en el cuidado de emergencias para adultos mayores. En el 2014, cuatro organizaciones enfocadas en geriatría desarrollaron y dieron a conocer directivas para los Departamentos de Emergencias Geriátricas. Estas directivas recomendaron medidas que van desde añadir equipamiento médico especial para los adultos mayores hasta contar con personal especializado y realizar más evaluaciones de rutina para detectar trastornos de delirio, demencia y riesgo de caídas, entre otras vulnerabilidades.

El programa voluntario GEDA ofrece ciertos parámetros y metas específicas en la que los clínicos de emergencia y los administradores deben enfocarse. Un departamento de emergencias con la acreditación GEDA debe incorporar ciertas prácticas consideradas entre las mejores prácticas, y también debe ofrecer educación geriátrica interdisciplinaria y contar con los aparatos y materiales geriátricos adecuados.
