Bridging Hospital and Nursing Home: Collaboration for Smoother Transitions and Reduced Hospitalizations

Abstract

The exigencies of managing acutely ill residents within nursing homes have led to an increase in ambulance conveyances to the emergency department. This is further compounded by a shortage of adequately trained nursing staff and on-site physicians available around the clock. An acute regional hospital, strategically located in the epicenter of nursing home facilities in Singapore, encountered this challenge on its inception in 2018 within the northeast region. In response, the institution initiated a collaboration, EAGLEcareACT (Enhancing Advance Care Planning, Geriatrics, and End-of-Life Care Acute Care Team), aimed at rectifying the prevailing care disparities between neighboring nursing homes and the hospital. Within the EAGLEcareACT, a systematic and comprehensive approach was undertaken to engage diverse nursing homes, delineate precise needs, and establish mutually shared objectives. This encompassed the provisioning of monitoring of patients treated for acute medical conditions, structured training programs for nursing staff and aids in advance care planning. Teleconsultations with EAGLEcareACT team obviate the immediate necessity for conveyance to the emergency department.
