Abstract
  • Hospitalization is a significant event that frequently leads to disability for the geriatric population. Eskenazi Health has indicated that their therapists are not equipped with the means to fully treat this population to the best of their ability. The purpose of this capstone project was to identify and define opportunities within the therapeutic process in which inpatient therapists at Eskenazi Health could improve quality of care for this population. Therapists’ confidence in addressing the many needs of this population was measured before and after an education and training session on resources created to improve therapy services for geriatric patients. Results indicated improved confidence in all steps of the therapeutic process for the inpatient therapy team. Acute care therapists may benefit from the results of this project through continued education and understanding of the risk factors of debility and implications of care for the geriatric population.
