Frailty Strategy overview
The Current Situation
Within Swansea Bay UHB we recognise that frailty is associated with increased ill health, mortality, healthcare use, care dependency and reduced quality of life and have identified a high proportion, 40%, of our acute medical admissions are frail.
People with frailty often experience long waits in overcrowded admission areas and spending extending periods of time in these types of environments is challenging to their senses and increases immobility which leads to deconditioning and delirium. In an attempt to move people quickly out of admission areas like ED (emergency department) we are not always able to offer older people a frailty assessment before they are admitted. By failing to complete a frailty assessment (ideally within 30 minutes of their arrival at hospital) patients are at greater risk of hospital acquired harms.
What can we do to provide better care to our frail population?
We want to provide a dedicated Frailty Unit that is staffed by a multi-disciplinary team of geriatricians, nurses and therapists who will be able to provide the targeted care these vulnerable patients need, right from the offset. By undertaking a comprehensive geriatric assessment on arrival as well as having six ring fenced beds for patients for those confirmed with fractured neck of femur and enabling specialty in reach and continuity of care across admitting areas and wards we can minimise the time spent in hospital and reduce unnecessary admissions.
