Abstract
Over 50 million U.S. adults 65 years and older account for >20 million emergency departments (ED) visits each year. Increasing ED use by older adults is projected to exceed the capacity of U.S. EDs. The traditional ED model of care is ill-equipped to address the many complex care needs of older adults.
