Report – SFH Summary of HNHBLHIN 2011

The Ontario Senior Friendly Hospital Strategy, led by the Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) and Regional Geriatric Programs (RGPs) of Ontario, was launched in 2011 with an environmental scan of hospitals across the province. The RGP of Toronto worked with all of the LHINs and RGPs of Ontario to generate a provincial summary of Senior Friendly Hospital care. This report provided twelve recommendations to help hospitals become more senior friendly, and identified hospital-acquired delirium and functional decline as improvement priorities for the system. There is a self-assessment template, LHIN-level reports, and an Ontario summary.
