162 An Audit of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment in the Southern Trust Acute Care at Home Service

ConclusionWhilst some areas of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment are achieved adequately, others are not.  Our electronic assessment did not include a Geriatric Depression Score. Although pain was frequently assessed, again a score was not always used. Other areas for improvement include visual acuity, fractures and osteoporosis and advanced care planningThe results of this audit have been presented to the team, adjustments have been made to our electronic assessments so that we can record and capture this data better. There will be a reaudit in 6 month’s to evaluate improvement.
