Geriatric Emergency Department Initiative (GED) team has been working to enhance the quality of care for older adults in the Emergency Department by addressing their unique medical, psychological, and social needs. ED staff learned about delirium assessment (bCAM), Timed Up & Go (TUG) testing, and patient rounding. As a result of this amazing work in the ED, the Antioch Medical Center received the American College of Emergency Physicians Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation Level II.
