When is something urgent and when should seniors go to the ER? That’s the topic of discussion an interview between Pete Carlson, Lifespark VP, Acute Response Services, and Susie Jones on her morning Health Radio show with WCCO.
The current reality is overcrowded emergency rooms with 50-55% of those visits, for seniors especially, being unnecessary. Where can you turn if an urgent health concern arises, and your primary care can’t see you? Many suggest you head to the ER as the easy button leading to part of the problem. Lifespark believes many of the more urgent needs can be better served at home and why we are integrating Urgent Response Services into our Lifespark COMPLETE model bringing this level of service right to a seniors home.
How are we doing that? Listen in as Pete and Susie talk about what we can do at home and how we address them in the home…
