Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OTHER | Multidimensional intervention | The patient will be cited 2 months after hospital discharge for a geriatric evaluation carried out by a geriatric nurse and an internist with geriatric training. The duration of the first visit is 45-60 minutes. The visit consists of: 1. Assessment of the pneumonia resolution, co-morbidities, aspiration risk, risk of multiresistant infections, and the immunization, functional and cognitive status. 2. An individualized intervention plan. The patient and family or caregiver will receive an educational intervention, a written report with the planned intervention and an educational leaflet. Those patients who require further assessment or follow up of the intervention will receive 1 or 2 more visits and all the patients will be cited one year after the first visit. |
