Summary
Frail older adults are often at increased risk of patient safety incidents including rehospitalisation and overtreatment. In this study, published in BMC Geriatrics, researchers in the United States assessed the association of care coordination and preventable adverse events in frail older adults. Compared with non-frail older adults, they found that frail older adults reported experiencing more adverse events they believed could have been prevented with better care coordination.
