Study on Timely Management of Acute Disease in Older Adults

Practical Solutions and Value

  • Point-of-Care testing, including Focused Lung Ultrasound (FLUS) and in-home analysis of biological material, can help in timely recognition and management of acute respiratory disease in older adults.
  • A non-randomised pilot and feasibility study was conducted to test the study design, investigate the feasibility of in-home extended point-of-care testing, and explore its potential clinical impact.
  • During the study, a FLUS-trained physician accompanied an acute community nurse on home-visits to older adults with signs of acute respiratory disease.
  • The study found that in-home assessments with extended point-of-care testing are feasible and may help in identifying and managing acute diseases in older adults.
