Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

36
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

1.9K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

12.5K
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

A pulmonary embolism occurs when a thrombus, amniotic fluid, tumor tissue, fat, or air embolus blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. Effective nursing management and patient education are crucial for improving outcomes and preventing recurrence.Nursing management starts with obtaining a comprehensive patient history, particularly noting any history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Assess for clinical manifestations, including dyspnea, chest pain, crackles, heart murmurs, and signs of right-sided...

Summary

Older adults with prior emergency medical services (EMS) encounters before a fall injury are often sicker and have lower socioeconomic status. These individuals represent a key population for community EMS fall prevention programs.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Falls are a major cause of death and disability in older adults.
  • Existing fall prevention programs require patient engagement and independence.
  • Community emergency medical services (CEMS) offer a novel approach to proactive fall prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify older adults at high risk for falls who could benefit from CEMS interventions.
  • To describe the characteristics of older adults with fall-related injuries and prior EMS encounters.

Main Methods:

  • Linked 2019 Massachusetts healthcare databases (ED, inpatient) with hospital survey data.
  • Analyzed adults aged 55+ with fall-related ED encounters (July-December 2019).
  • Compared characteristics of those with and without prior EMS encounters in the preceding six months.

Main Results:

  • 11% of 66,027 older adults presenting with falls had prior EMS encounters.
  • Prior EMS encounters were associated with poorer health (more comorbidities) and lower socioeconomic status.
  • Individuals with prior EMS encounters were more likely to have complex comorbidities and lower income.

Conclusions:

  • A substantial number of older adults with fall injuries have recent EMS contact.
  • These individuals are predisposed to negative health and economic outcomes.
  • CEMS fall prevention programs could effectively target this high-risk population.
