New website assists in care of older patients needing hospitalization

The Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP) at the School of Medicine has launched a new website to address the needs of older patients about to be admitted to the hospital.

Aimed at clinicians and families of these patients, the site provides information about hospital care and avoiding complications of hospitalization, including functional decline and delirium.

The site provides educational materials for patients and caregivers, as well as a reference listing, searchable bibliography and useful links for clinicians about acute hospital care for older persons generally and about delirium specifically.

HELP is a program designed to reduce delirium and functional decline by keeping older hospitalized patients oriented to their surroundings and meeting their needs while in the hospital.

The address of the website is http://elderlife.med.yale.edu/public/public-main.php.
