    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Healthcare Management
    • Hospital Administration

    Background:

    • Geriatric departments face increasing demand.
    • Effective management is crucial for elderly care.
    • Balancing community and hospital services presents challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a geriatric department's operational model over 17 years.
    • To analyze the shift from chronic to acute bed utilization.
    • To evaluate the department's ability to meet community and hospital demands.

    Main Methods:

    • Longitudinal analysis of departmental services and bed allocation.
    • Review of patient turnover rates and service provision.
    • Assessment of the impact of bed location on medical service comprehensiveness.

    Main Results:

    • Geriatric department turnover has successfully met demand for 17 years.
    • A significant reduction in the proportion of chronic beds relative to acute beds was observed.
    • The majority of beds are now located within the general hospital, enhancing comprehensive medical services.

    Conclusions:

    • The department effectively manages high patient turnover, prioritizing early intervention.
    • Strategic bed allocation within a general hospital setting improves care delivery and prevents acute resource overload.
    • The model successfully balances community geriatric care obligations with hospital support functions.
