Older people must receive enabling hospital care
Article Abstract:
Older people are likely to be exposed to various risks including an exposure to infection and inappropriate medical or nursing treatment in the hospitals, which can be really hazardous for them and can make them even sicker. The author suggests that in order to overcome this problem, the time span of the old people being in the hospital should be reduced and even the wards should be paid to provide them quality care and effective outcomes.
