ACEP Frontline: Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation (GEDA)

Published: Feb. 4, 2019, 4:10 p.m.

In today’s ACEP Frontline, host Dr. Ryan Stanton and his guests, Dr. Ula Hwang, Dr. Michael Malone Dr. and Kevin Biese wrap up a three-part series on the Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation (GEDA) program. They discuss how to help your ED become more geriatric focused, and about GEDA accreditation levels available. With an estimated 10,000 Baby Boomers turning 65 every day, this patient population continues to grow. The older patient not only has specific medical needs, but he/she may also have complex social challenges that effect care options. Listen in as the group discusses ACEP’s GEDA program and why it's so impactful for the aging patient population. For more information, please visit: https://www.acep.org/geda/
