Institutional registry of INteGral Geriatric Care in Méderi

Project Details

Description

Reducing mortality in early life in low- and middle-income countries, together with declining mortality in older people in high-income countries, and declining fertility rates in almost all countries countries, will bring with it a demographic transition towards older populations worldwide; it is expected that between 2015 and 2050 the percentage of people aged 60 or over will rise from 12% to 22%. In Colombia, according to DANE projections for 2021, the percentage of people
with 60 years or older it was 13.9%, and by 2050 it is expected to be 25%.
The aging of the population will bring with it important challenges for the Colombian state, which is why it is necessary to focus public policies and health services towards a healthy aging of the population, understanding aging as a complex concept, which should not only be addressed from
the biological aspect, and that to understand it it is necessary to approach it from different approaches, keeping in mind the influence exerted by multiple factors that occur throughout a person's life, since some of these are modifiable.

Objective

To implement the institutional registry of INteGral Geriatric Care in Méderi

Key findings

To create an institutional registry that can encompass patients aged 65 years or older hospitalised by this service, enabling the development of indicators based on reliable information to support decision-making focused on continuous improvement, with the expectation of positively impacting the clinical outcomes of the target population of the registry. Additionally, the registry aims to foster the generation of new knowledge through the development of research protocols derived from it.
