Abstract
|
|
|
|
The 48/6 Model of Care is a senior integrated care system that conducts screening and assessment for inpatients using six key areas, and establishes and mediates individualized multidisciplinary care plans within 48 hours of admission. The six key areas are bowel and bladder management, cognitive functioning, functional mobility, medication management, nutrition and hydration, and pain management, which have interrelated impact on the health of many seniors. These six key areas are not only assessed at the time of admission, but also during hospitalization, at time of discharge, and after discharge. The patients are continuously observed and cared for after their discharge into the community. One possible solution to resolve the social and economic burden of senior health problems is to provide treatment and preventive guidelines for early identification of senior health problems using screening and assessment tools such as the 48/6 Model of Care, which is systematic and easily applicable to the medical institution including the community.
